My favorite flower is a rose. It's a woody perennial in the Rosa genus. Do you like roses? 
I buy roses for my girlfriend all the time!
Someone is getting some points! There are over a hundred species and a thousand cultivars of roses. Do you always buy the red ones?
Really? I did not know there were so many kinds. Yes I thought there were only red roses.
Yes! They are part of a group of erect shrubs, with trailing stems that often have sharp pricks.
Interesting, do you know where they come from?
Most of them are native to Asian, but a few come from Europe and North America. My favorite are from Asia.
Are they very different in looks?
Yes! Some are large, others are compact miniature, and some climbing roses can grow to seven meters in hight!
seven meters? That is a huge rose! I should get that for my girlfriend.
