Since we were pretty much denied a proper spring, we're carrying all the May flowers that the April showers didn't bring right on into the summer — starting with roses. Not only are they pretty to look at, but these blooms also have some major skin, hair, and nail benefits. Scroll ahead to learn all the beautifying ways that you can stop, smell, and slather on roses.
