My husband's family used to get milk from a local farmer when he was a 
boy.The milk was from only a few cows as opposed to milk from many cows as 
in a commercial dairy.One time the entire heard got into the blueberry patch 
resulting in milk which indeed tasted of blueberries.I wonder how many rose 
petals would give the same result.I see a whole new direction for 
biotechnology, perhaps producing usable fooder for cows from rose bushes.A 
plant with just flowers.This is where the "C" in "SCA" comes in. ;)
