I used to carpool during the oil embargo of 1973. One guy insisted we stop at a florist on the way home so he could get his wife some flowers. He browbeat the other members of the carpool to buy some flowers for their wives. My wife’s first words as I walked into the house. “WHAT DID YOU DO!?”
He bought you roses! It doesn’t matter if they came from the florist, the grocery store or the gas station. He didn’t have to buy flowers at all. Can’t you appreciate thefact he did?
I know the reason that was said was to set up the joke. But I’m imagining 3 seconds before this. Leroy walks into the room and asks her if she stopped to smell the roses. Huh? There is no reason for him to say that.

A rose is a rose. It’s the thought that counts.
OTOH – a rose bush lovingly bought and planted and cared for – wonderful! 8)
