Here's some trivia you might not know: Traditionally, rose bushes were planted at the end of each vineyard row to help monitor the health of the grapevines. If the rose bush showed any sign of disease, insects or drought it would alert the vineyard in time to treat the grapevines! posted by Paris and John @ 5:00 PM
