Roses by Bernard Bonello

Roses
  • Roses are valued for their romantic symbolism but their blooms are also edible and have the flavours of green apples and strawberries.
  • There are over 15,000 species of roses cultivated across the world.
  • Barbara Streisand, Whoopi Goldberg, and Rosie O'Donnell each have a rose named for them.
  • The rose family also includes pears, apples, cherries, plums, peaches, apricots, and almonds.
  • In 1996, Americans purchased about 1.2 billion cut roses, which is the equivalent of 4.67 roses for every person in the nation.
