    Do Plants Have Collective Nouns?

    Yes, I'm trying to put off things that I should be doing today and in an idle moment - Mr PP and I were discussing buying roses - I wondered what the collective noun for roses might be?

    A thorn, a prick? A blackspot ?

    Do they exists or is just the animal kingdom?

        Actually, for those who like roses is could be a Bower, if you regard them as nasty spiteful things, as I do, its an Agony of Roses.

          I suppose you'd have to revert back to the Latin name and change the ending????

            Rosary (from Latin rosarium, meaning "rose garden" or "garland of roses")
            I'm having a deja vu moment - as I've been wittering about garlands on another thread today

                    Apparently the collective noun for roses is a bunch or bouquet.............
