So funny, Jan. With the price of roses soaring for Valentines day, I buy real roses one day after at a reasonable price. Still look and smell the same. Good luck in the contest. Warmest Wishes~Warren

Roses are plastic regardless the cost hit the road jack this time you lost. If I ever gave my wife plastic roses,plants or jacket I'd be eating plastic fruit. Good luck in the contest.
