Ode to a Rose.  You either love them or hate them!  With so many colors how could you hate them?  I don’t think too many people love the traditional red rose bud with babies breath.  But red roses can be beautiful if you just arrange them the right way.

Roses are grown in Florida, California, Columbia, Ecuador and several other South American countries.  Yes, they are grown in America, but they seem to do the best in the climates South of here.   Because of the bug infestations they are sprayed with pesticides to keep perfect form.  If they weren’t sprayed we wouldn’t have them.

Roses used to be rather inexpensive, but with the increasing cost for transportation and production roses are definitely a mid priced flower.
