Hello. I love Roses and gardening. Do you know anything about Roses?
Roses are very pretty aren't they? They have those sharp little prickles on them that might cause you to bleed.
Yes they do! Did you know that there is fossil evidence that they found from 35 million years ago?
I did not know that. That is interesting! I love roses and I like that they can come in different colors like yellow and white as well as red.
The colors are amazing. There are over 150 species spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere, from Alaska to Mexico, including Africa.
Yes most of them are native to Asia. You sure do know a lot about roses!
Thank you. I do love them. They believe that roses were cultivated some 5,000 years ago, probably in China. Where else!
I'm sure they can be found all over! They have many uses in different cultures.
Most of the long stem roses sold in the US actually come from South America, and most of those roses come from Ecuador. Roses grow perfectly straight the closer to the Equator.
That is very interesting. I bet they are hard to grow. Some can even grow up to seven meters.
