Because you are spending money for that rose, and because it’s offered by a major name in roses, you’ll know it’s special.

(I hope this hasn’t been linked before…I don’t think I missed it.)

And now for that what were they thinking advertisement:

They’ve even got a trademark for the Exciting part of it. It’s available in Moscow, Paris, Berlin, London and Amsterdam.

(So you can gift someone special a proliferated rose bloom and expect them to be all googly eyed.) (Ducking and running now LOL)

And finally a link to a paper (full text) about rose proliferation. http://www.springerlink.com/content/k3r47738605576q1/

Nothing says, “I just gave you scabies, dear,” like a proliferated rose on a date. lol

You are one romantic devil Jadae.

Yeah, she looks like she is socially stuck in an awkward embrace while thinking, “I wish I could scratch” lol.
