ROSES! Cultivation of roses began around 500 BC, resulting in 13,000 different varieties. The color of the rose depends on the species, but there are no black roses. 74% of rose purchases are made by men (merci Atomic!). Red roses symbolize love, yellow for friendship, orange for enthusiasm, white for purity, and pink for joy. Rose petals are edible, and make a unique addition to any salad! Have a rosy day everyone! 🌹🌹🌹
