Can he just get the seeds? That would be crafty AND thrifty.

Lucky for him that Iran has been known for the most fragrant roses for thousands of years and roses are not that expensive in their country.


For over 5,000 years China and Persia had remained the documented habitat of the naturally fragrant varieties freely recurrent in bloom and the only ones that bore yellow flowers. The elegant single layered Iranian Rose growing in the Rose fields of Qasmar, near Kashan, possesses such an exquisite and heavenly perfume it is nurtured and grown entirely for its nectar. Such was the legendary resplendence of the fragrance of the Rose water - Gool Ab that the nectar itself, by its very name, became the Rose. Indeed, the time-honoured extraction from the blossoms in these Rose fields in mid-Spring is witnessed by thousands of tourists. Even the harvesting of the flowers is a delicate process done before sunrise to obtain the most exquisite aroma in the maximum quantity.

If he can get a few buddies together to do some picking he might get off pretty cheap, because according to the story this guy won't even put out the money for a cup of coffee for the misses.


According to E'temad, the woman, identified as Hengameh, decided to claim her entire dowry of 124,000 red roses after 10 years of marriage to "punish her very stingy husband".

"Shortly after marriage, I realised that Shahin was very cheap," she told the newspaper. "He even refused to pay for my coffee if we went to a cafe or restaurant."
