Sorry no. Not a stupid question either. I asked the same thing when I first joined in 2011. No flower shop flowers can be given

That's a shame, wanted to give them a treat, will have to wait for my ones in the garden to flower

I hear ya. I was so excited back when I thought the same thing.

You never know what kind of dyes or preservatives went into the flowers before they were purchased, so flower shop flowers are out.

What a lovely excuse to "have" to grow some beautiful roses, though!

Very true. However, if we could have fed them. What a great excuse to have your spouse buy you flowers more often Now you know the plan I was hoping for.

I will just have to get my other half to buy me rose bushes instead of bunches
