This line is a reference to the opening imagery of a “graying tower alone on the sea.” He compares her to the ability of a single rose to grow on the gray tower surrounded only by the ocean. To him, she is a miracle; a splash of color in his otherwise dull life. Or so, that is how I'm interpreting it.
