Yeah, I don’t like champagne or pop or anything with bubbles. Hand-picked wildflowers are THE BEST.

So, I usually don’t comment here, on my husband’s blog because I can talk to him in person all the time, but, well, I love roses. They really are my favorite kind of flowers. And champagne! I love champagne too! Also Christine Kane’s song, and Gary’s take on it.

I do have a problem with the “traditional female role”, though.

Women, go ahead and confess! Many of you don’t seem to like roses, so what’s the use of presenting some to you?
I think it’s a strong symbol, loaded with traditional connotations, and it’s only natural there’s an aversion developing among those having problems with the traditional female role.
The woman in the song also doesn’t like champagne.
What about this?

I agree with Kelly. I don;t really like roses for similar reasons. If someone was giving me flowers I would rather get handpicked wild ones – daisies, etc. But the smell of a rose is okay. Reminds me of tea leaves. Nice soundtrack.

I also don’t like roses. I like wild roses, but not the too picture-perfect things that breeders have created through years of cross-breeding in their gardens and greenhouses. I don’t like their smell, either. I didn’t know I was of the same mind as Christine Kane. Thank you for the tune.
