Are roses losing their aroma because of man’s cross pollinating and tinkering to create a better rose?
A friend has rose bushes in front of her house. Someone told me the roses were not a natural rose variety but one developed by man. They looked beautiful, but had no smell, even when you stuck your nose right in the petals. Man creating this variety of rose and that, is sacrificing small of looks? Are roses in general just losing their smell over generations?
