They're not stupid. Everyone needs red roses at Valentines so they fetch double the normal price at the auctions.

well, they do say length isn't everything.

If somebody sent me a dozen red roses on V Day I wouldn''t be worrying about the stem length - it's the thought that counts!

It's not the length, it's how you put them in the vase that counts! *wink*

Marks' roses are Kenyan, apparently!
