Rose stem leaves

sydney · 13-02-2009, 06:31 PM

Just wondering if these are okay for my Horsfield? (without the prickly stems obviously

)

Also, not that i'm thinking of feeding my girlfriends roses to our Tort or anything, but are the actual roses okay to feed them also?

the flower is fine, the leaves are not. and only the flower that hasn't been treated with chemicals. I wouln't do florist flowers. And leaves are toxic.

Ooh er, i'm glad i asked the question.
I won't risk it as they're from M&S, and they pump all kinds of crap into thier products.

Thanks Paul G.

I've got a bouquet with roses in it which is slightly on the turn. If I washed the flowers do you think it would be OK?

Thanks
