My favorite flower is a rose. It's a woody perennial in the Rosa genus. Do you like roses? 
I buy roses for my girlfriend all the time!
Someone is getting some points! There are over a hundred species and a thousand cultivars of roses. Do you always buy the red ones?
Really? I did not know there were so many kinds. Yes I thought there were only red roses.
Yes! They are part of a group of erect shrubs, with trailing stems that often have sharp pricks.
Interesting, do you know where they come from?
Most of them are native to Asian, but a few come from Europe and North America. My favorite are from Asia.
