In America, if life gives you lemons, the enterprising turn them into lemonade. In Israel, if life, in other words, the Arabs, gives you rockets, the enterprising make roses.

Each rose is a unique hand-sculpted piece of art, fashioned from actual rockets that landed in Israel. The stem is mounted on a base in the shape of Israel, with each rose "growing" from the region where most of the have rockets landed.

A silver plaque is attached to the base of the rose, indicating the month and year that the rocket landed in Israel.

A minimum of $50.00 from each rose will be donated to Operation Lifeshield to build more shelters.

Hopefully the roses will conquer the rockets.
