A question for GC's male members and now you ladies too.....

I don't think i would buy any cut roses, Miss Jiff and i would both go to garden centre or where ever and buy something nice for the garden so we both can enjoy

 

I always ordered Mrs T roses when I was coming home on leave.
She still has a single rose pressed from the first bunch I sent her.
We have so many plants now in the garden but she still enjoys getting a bunch of red roses, (and no I don't get them from the local petral station smelling of diesal fumes).
We have a local florist near us they do great flowers

 

How about some that last forever....... Glass ones

 

Any colour as long as it is white.

 

Not with my Grozing pliers they won't

 

Some interesting answers gents.

Now it's time for all you chaps to keep shtum while the ladies have their turn.

LADIES OF GARDENERS CORNER.....TIME FOR YOU TO SPEAK!

Would you like to tell the men in our lives both here on GC and at home how you would like your roses please. Again....colour, amount etc.

 

Woooo, hold your horses FC, did I say there was a right answer?

We need to hear from the ladies before I take this any further.

 

The colour of roses, or indeed the choice of flower carries many meanings. Yellow roses might imply "I await your affections" . Dahlias could have many meanings, from "death to you" or other more pleasant interpretations.

Me, I totally do not go for roses. I love the smell of even a single carnation. Total bliss.

 

I have no roses in the garden but we have good church yard next door

 

No roses or cut flowers for me....rather have chocolates or a plant for the garden.

 

I'd prefer a plant over cut flowers anyday. In august/sept I got 4 new roses (all creamy white climbers), an agapanthus black pantha, 2 double flowered leucanthemums, 10 bargain basement daylilies, 30 small fuchsias to overwinter and a shrub rose burgundy ice. I feel spoilt after typing all that out!
