“At Bramble and Rose our main business is that of growing and selling the older varieties of own root roses”.   Root roses, sure.  But necklaces and rosaries made from ground up rose petals?  You’ve gotta love this country.  And this is an interesting catalog, really.  The photos of their roses are gorgeous.  And read the “A Family Thing” section.  Pretty neat.  As you’ve no doubt gathered, they don’t sell just roses, but all things rose.  Seven different kinds of rose soap, a body spritz, an astringent…. Check it out.  A nice little family business.  Bramble and Rose.
