I don't know of any woman >who couldn't resist a big fragrant bouquet of roses. Hmmm...I once read a fascinating book, a biography of a British rose grower. (The book was, of course, perfumed. :-) In it, he claimed that men preferred red roses, while women preferred yellow. I don't know whether he's right, so perhaps the best thing is to give an assortment. (Come to think of it, though, since he mentions men, does anyone send anything to Kate's brothers? Not necessarily for Katemas, but it seems to me that they should be appreciated too!) James Jones
