Thank you to everyone who entered and shared your clever takes on the classic rhyme. We enjoyed reading every submission. Random.org has selected the winner of the Teleflora gift card: Cristina S, who wrote, “Roses are red, violets are blue, I’m awful at rhyming & I hope you are too!” Congratulations, Cristina!
