Lovers of Carbon Monoxide

Wonder why your roses are so beautiful this year? A farm agent in a nearby county annouced recently to local farmers complaining of poor pumpkin crops--that while their pumpkins might be doing poorly, they should look at the roses.

While Pumpkins cannot tolerate high levels of carbon monoxide, roses absolutely LOVE it and flourish beautifully.

Earlier this season, I complained of the deer eating the few rose blooms I had on my new rose bush, recently, bought at the local hardware store, thinking it may not produce more. Then to my amazement, the bush kept producing new sets of buds after the deer had their treat. It's still producing beautiful red velvet buds and it soon will be winter.

Is this a sign that if we do not reduce the carbon monoxide levels our eating habits may change? Instead of a pumpkin festival we will be celebrating an Autum Rose Festival. Can you imagine pumpkins going extinct?

Something to think about.
