Roses and Tomatoes

I don't know about you, but when I buy roses I want them to smell. I want to drown in their fragrance. While they are getting bigger, it's getting harder and harder to find roses with any smell at all.

Now scientists have found that the tomato gene that gives tomatoes their flavor, is the same gene that gives roses their wonderful scent.

Soon, I'll be able to find roses that smell, well like roses.
