TheWoWDBThis quest comes from the Jeweled Spade Handle, which has a chance to randomly be looted when picking Starlight Rose with Rank 1 in Starlight Rose. It will not drop if you have no ranks, and is completely RNG dependent, so just keep picking herbs until you find one in order to reach Rank 2. The quest is turned in to Kuhuine Tenderstride in the Legion version of Dalaran.

Herbalism 800, more than 300 Starlight Rose gathers and it finally dropped.
This thing can take a very, very long time to get.
My Skill in Herbalism is now 322 thanks to farming Starlight Rose for over 3 hours....

Description
An immaculately carved spade handle lies beside the rose. Apparently the spade was more beautiful than it was durable, as the blade has completely fallen off. Your herbalism trainer may be interested in seeing this.

Getting there
Inside the dungeon: Cathedral of Eternal Night
The upper chambers of the Tomb of Sargeras were once a place of worship to Elune. Since the Legion's invasion, fel minions have desecrated this holy place, twisting it into their own image. Now, this site will host a battle that could turn the tide of the invasion.
Bosses in the Adventure Guide, in order: Agronox, Thrashbite the Scornful, Domatrax, Mephistroth.
Entrance: Broken Shore at 64.9, 16.8.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Gentlest Touch
Sadly, I don't have any special techniques that can help you here. You'll simply need to practice your methods. Get back out there, and focus on a gentle touch when dealing with starlight roses.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Spade's Blade
Did you notice the script along the base of the handle, <name>? It says "Herbalist Tharillon," in the writing of the nightborne. The handle does little for us, but perhaps the blade of this spade will give us some information on how to harvest the starlight rose without failing quite so often.
The storyline at a glance
Legion Herbalism has 6 steps, from Starlight Rosedust to Tharillon's Fall.
