If you can’t find a rose that you like, just create it. Rose breeding is relatively easy. Find two roses that both possess a quality you like and combine them. Sometimes it takes a few tries, but eventually new roses are born. There are literally thousands of rose types. No one can agree on the original. In 1597 the first list of roses was published. It contained fifteen varieties. In my garden at home I have all of them. “I’m a what?” I asked. The room went silent for a few moments. The tall ceilings and bookshelves seemed to crowd the room like they were listening. I sat by myself on a shiny leather couch across from Alejandro and the two boys. They all stared at me like I was some kind of freak. My green hair got me that look a lot, but this was different. Tense. “She’s a girl.” Romeo leaned forward, studying me. “She can’t be a Shade.” “What does being a girl have to do with anything?”
