This is such a huge deal! I hope they get it figured how to grow it.

The rose that grows in many different forms in gardens all over the world today is an evolution of rose-like plants that lived in the northern hemisphere between 33 million and 23 million years ago. Traces of them have been found in the fossil record of the Oligocene epoch in Europe, Asia, and western North America.
Ghost stories have existed for thousands of years, often in similar forms and frequently dealing with the same themes, in many of the most ancient cultures. The writer H.P. Lovecraft once wrote, “As may naturally be expected of a form so closely connected with primal emotion, the horror-tale is as old as human thought and speech themselves.” The human desire to defeat death, to live forever, found expression through stories of those who seemingly had done so by returning from the grave.
