ROSE IN THE GARDEN [1] ("Ros annsa n-garad, An" or "Ros san garrda"). AKA and see “A Thaidhg a Rún,” “Jackson's Flowery Garden,” "Primrose Girl (1)," “Smuggler's Reel.” Irish, Reel (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Neill/1850, 1001 & 1915): AA'BB' (O'Neill/Krassen). A Cape Breton version of the tune (in ‘A’ Major) goes by the titles “Put Me in the Big Chest” and “Big Coffin Reel”), and William Bradbury Ryan's "Smuggler's Reel" is a related tune. Paul de Grae notes similarities in the first strain with O'Neill's "Irish Hautboy (The)."
