1.   A wild rose has no employees.

2.   Roses have structural as well as ornamental value in the garden.

3.   The rose had a beautiful scent.

4.   Budded roses have the disadvantage of a vulnerable bud union, which can be damaged by extreme weather.

5.   Colors vary greatly, but the rose has no blue gene.

6.   Old-fashioned roses have a stronger, sweeter smell than the hybridized roses common today.

7.   Roses have a perfume-y aroma and a velvety-mouth feel, similar to lettuce.

8.   The few blooms this rose has had have been blush pink, not white.

9.   These roses will only have to be pruned again in the spring.

10.   Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
