Even a rose can be faked!

In the week before Valentine's Day 2008, Customs authorities in the main airports of six EU countries were on high alert, checking thousands of boxes of commercially grown cut roses from South America and other target countries. Some 20 shipments were confiscated.  Either the roses were grown without the breeders' permission, infringing their plant rights and trade marks, or they were actually fake, using the brand names of existing genuine rose varieties.
