Why Roses?

 Rose flowers have long been associated with happy, warm emotions, mainly being love, and they are often used to express this emotion with partners, family, or even just friends on occasion. This is attributed to the fact that when amongst other flowers, they truly stand out, with tall plants sporting large, bright , spherical flowers that can be a range of colours thanks to growers making hybrids of roses by breeding one species with another different species  (of which there is over 100 species of “typical “ looking roses) , which results in some some fantastic varieties of colours, many different to the common bright red. Their sweet scent is widely regarded as one of particular value, roses generally have a sweet smelling aroma, which is often used as a key ingredient in some of the most expensive and desired perfumes.
