Starlight Rose normally only spawns in Suramar. It is possible to do this pre-110 if you are careful.

Buying those from AH doesn't do the trick :(...

I went to Suramar at level 103 to do this quest. I was very careful and flew away before anything could attack me, but one time, a mob (Withered Hungerer maybe?) spawned upon harvesting and started chasing me. I thought that was it, I was done for - until I realized the mob was only level 102 and I killed it with no problem. As long as you have flying and/or are very careful, it shouldn't be too big of an issue.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Starlight RosedustLevel 10-45
Despite all your training, the rose disintegrated in your hand. Your herbalism trainer in Dalaran will want to see this.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Jeweled Spade HandleLevel 10-45
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.
