Roses

I love having fresh flowers in my house especially roses but in the USA that can get expensive. Here I like to keep flowers in several places around the house. Usually I'll have roses on the table or in our bedroom.



If the Rose Lady stops at my house, I can get a dozen roses for 25 pesos...about $2.30. But I'm not always here when she goes down the street so I buy them from the "Rose Man" who always has roses outside of Espino's grocery. Sometimes, like now, the roses are 35 pesos and sometimes like during Easter the roses are 50 pesos. Even at 50 pesos a dozen, they are less than $5 US dollars for long stem roses.
