to seek all enjoyments of life is correct because gather roses only means to seek pleasure and enjoyment while avoiding serious duties or responsibilities.

This idiom or phrase is useful because it helps students understand the intended meaning beyond the individual words.

Examples: He wanted to gather roses only and ignored the hard work needed for success. A responsible person cannot gather roses only while others do all the difficult tasks.

The sentence contrasts family responsibility with the desire for enjoyment, so the pleasure-related meaning fits best.
