Cystic Fibrosis and 65 Roses:
The phrase "65 Roses" rhymes with cystic fibrosis. It came into relevance when a 4 year old child, Richard heard his mother saying "Cystic Fibrosis" but heard it as "65 Roses". The phrase is now a registered trademark of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, which has also adopted the rose as its symbol.
