 They're very fragile, but they look just like you'd think a fossil would look. There you go. They're dead. There are some insects that get into the roses that are called thrip. And the thrip love red roses and especially white and yellow roses. So those are like their favorites. And they will get into the flower bud and they will drain it of strength. So they'll pull the sap out of it and they'll make the flower buds ball up so they don't open.
