Even though each individual flower is quite a simple single structure with five loosely arranged petals, its effect is of something far more elaborate. Match this with very disease resistant foliage that is shiny and dark green, a light scent and a pleasing, symmetrical growing habit and you do have the perfect rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Bouquet of For Your Eyes Only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes - the pun is irresistible because it was the beautiful Carole Bouquet who starred in the eponymous film!
