This single red rose is my first rose of the season, cut in the past couple of days. It's really beautiful, and exotic. I believe the variety is "Don Juan," and it does have a Spanish flair... there's a black duskiness in its heart that reminds me of a black lace mantilla... over red velvet. (How's that for poetry? :)) And, it smells just a like a rose.9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.
10 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:
11 And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house...
Deuteronomy 26:9-11a

So - you can save the rose scented spray for fall, when the blooms fade. :)
You know Courtney's favorite flower is a red rose -and she loves the scent, too. Maybe I should help her cultivate a rose bush one of these days. She would LOVE that!
