Oh, gracious me; I have no idea about roses and just spent the last hour reading to come up with some trivia. I stopped reading when I started laughing. So here's my trivia question:

Who is famously quoted as saying, “I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.” Hilarious!
