Donahue.

This is a French children's circle game. A child walks around the interior of the circle during the first stanza as the gardener. At the beginning of the second stanza, the gardener stops to choose a rose from the circle of children. They exchange kisses on each cheek (the words to the song say to hug, but in actual practice, the children exchange kisses), then walk hand in hand around the interior of the circle to the end of the second stanza. At the end of the second stanza, the two children again exchange kisses. The game continues with the rose becoming the new gardener. The first gardener rejoins the circle of children. Game continues until all roses have been picked.
