Roses...pretty and functional

While Tim and I were touring the wine country outside of Cape Town two years ago we made a stop at the winery, Rupert and Rothschild. As we were driving up to the winery we passed the vinyards of Rupert and Rothschild I noticed that at the end of each row of grapes there was a rose bush.

Tim told me that the roses are an indicator of the grapes health. The roses will show signs of a problem before the grapes will.
