Until just now, my three-paragraph introduction had been replaced by these two sentences:
"Roses come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and flower colors. A hugely popular plant, the rose is also our national floral emblem."
Those sentences are now gone, and my original introduction is back.
I actually had edited those two sentences as soon as I saw them because they originally said that roses come in a "huge" range and are a "hugely" popular plant, and I didn't think the word "huge" had to be used so often.
