text: can you give me facts about roses for a school project? im doing a biology project on the rose and i cant find any websites that give me enough facts. i once did a project calling extracting essential oil.  you can take a look at that too.  there are many ways to do it.  however, you need quite a lot of roses in order to extract just a small amount.  it's a fun project because you will be able to smell the fragrance later but it's time consuming.    another idea is to look up their genetic information.  i think it would be cool as well :-)
