In the opening credits to the film, Gerlinde Locker speaks the following text to introduce the story: “The valley of wild roses. Our valley, our world, in which we lived and worked as settlers. We looked after our animals, tilled our fields, drove herds of cattle across the country and prepared for the harsh winters. It was not an easy life and yet the women in the valley knew what it means to love and how high the price is that you sometimes have to pay for it. "
action
Foreword: "Lady Helen Wilkenbury and her maid Mary had made the long journey from England well, but what was only a brief visit turned into the beginning of a new life at the end." The sawmill owner James Baker is in a hurry because he has Agatha Miller to accompany her husband Ernest, who is said to have murdered a woman, to the funeral. At the same time a young woman wanders through rough terrain. She seems very excited. Lady Helen, a writer, is waiting for a carriage in the city hotel because her brother David did not pick her up, as assumed. The hotel belongs to Agatha Miller, who arrives there shortly afterwards, accompanied by Baker. Lady Helen thinks she can't believe her eyes when she sees James Baker. He introduces the women and explains that he last saw Helen five years ago. James offers to take Lady Helen and Mary to their destination.
Subtext: “It's not that easy to leave the past behind. To forget everything that was. And sometimes you even have to go through a decision again to know whether the decision you made at the time is really the right one. ”Lady Helen finds her brother's ranch abandoned, but wants to go there despite James' advice to the contrary stay. When Mary asked who this Mr. James was, she replied that it was the man who broke her heart at the time, so much so that she thought she was going to die from it.
In the barn, Helen comes across an injured girl with bloody clothes who is obviously very scared. She has a calming effect on the very young woman and takes her into the house. In her sleep, the girl fearfully utters the words: "No Mister Miller, no, please don't."
James Baker meets Sheriff Gordon Lightwater and wants to know if something has happened in the case of his friend Ernest. In response to Gordon's comment about the Millers' marriage that people would talk about, he defends his friend that the Millers had a good marriage. When both are on the road, James Gordon tells that he is planning a connection to the railroad, which would be a great achievement for the valley as it would shorten the transport routes enormously. James then rides on to Helen's farm and advises her that they are looking for a young woman named Jenny who is suspected of murder and must still be in the area. Helen then speaks to Jenny, who tearfully describes what happened that evening. Mr. Miller was known by the kitchen maids for his fondness for very young women. After a business lunch with friends, he approached her, pushed her to the floor, lay down on her and pushed her skirt up. In her need, she grabbed a lamp and hit him on the head. You didn't mean to kill him.
Only a little later, Agatha Miller manages to tell James about her husband's fondness for very young girls. But that must remain a secret under all circumstances. Because that fact would probably throw a very different light on the murder. At the same time, Helen has a dispute with her brother, who has now returned, who tells her that he is bankrupt and that the money she put into the farm also went dead.
After David Wilkenbury tells Helen a lie, Helen rides angrily to James' house. The whole thing ends, however, with James silently carrying Helen into the house and the two of them spending the night together. Your love has stood the test of time. Helen, who has suffered from writer's block since breaking up with James, starts writing again. She wants to put the story of the women from the valley of roses on paper. David returns from Calgary with evidence that proves beyond any doubt what kind of person Miller was and that he repeatedly assaulted minors. Helen is relieved, but at the same time has to find out from David that he is so deeply in debt that he has also mortgaged the ranch, which will mean all of them moving out in the next few days.
After Jenny has been arrested, Helen does everything she can to help her. Another problem is that Mary got involved with Lord David and is now expecting a child from him. And then Helen learns that her parents and brother betrayed her five years ago and intrigued her connection with James. James received a fake letter and Helen was told that James had emigrated to Canada with another woman.
Some time later the sheriff comes by and says that the justice of the peace has followed his request for self-defense and that Jenny is finally free. In addition, the publisher has told Helen that she should definitely continue writing, that she liked her manuscript very much. Helen wants to go back to New York with the carriage, but this is overtaken by James, who assures Helen that even if they had lost valuable years, this would not have affected their love, which they now want to live.
“Weeks later, James accompanied Helen to New York, where she was celebrated as the new star in the novel. And then the newly married couple drove back to the valley of the wild roses. Mary had one child after another, and in the end David became a real cattle baron after all. And Jenny - Jenny became a midwife and helped Helen with the birth of her daughter Victoria, and for the christening everyone drove together by train on the new route with which James had connected our valley to the main line. But this is another story."

criticism
Kino.de said, "against the picturesque backdrop of the majestic Rocky Mountains", "the third and last film in the 'Wilde Rosen' series also unfolds the tried and tested mixture of melodrama and romance". “What is new about it” is “the challenge of telling a western from a female perspective.” It went on: “Ultimately, the author of the trilogy, Barbara Engelke, orients herself to tried and tested Pilcher fabrics, but the magnificent landscape really does a delightful contrast to the heartache that is common on this slot. "
Crew United wrote: "Heart, pain, crime: As if Pilcher and Lindström had teamed up to do something exciting."
TV Spielfilm dismissed the film with the words: "Kitsch postcard from wild Canada."
