Planting roses: To plant roses which have been obtained from a nursery first water the rose, and then remove it from the pot. If the rose is in a paper pot cut off the bottom and remove the sidewalls so that the fine, new white feeder roots of the growing plant might be preserved.
Roses in France:The French, especially the town of Rouen, embraced the cultivation of roses after the King of Navarre brought his wife rose bushes when he returned from The Seventh Crusade. Apple blossom garnish: The internet advises that apple blossoms are nice to use to garnish fruit dishes but they should only be eaten in moderation because they may contain cyanide precursors.
