Unless she has a fetish for roses then I wouldn't suggest using that no. Just make funny shit up. We had protests happening next to my work the other week. So I sent a text to one girl saying "I've just watched an angry student run into Vodafone's door shutters. Highlight of my day right there. Could of sworn I saw you amongst the protesters...She was holding a banner saying "Don't make me sell my body for monies again!! Respect..."

By saying that im using something thats happening within my day. In a sense it's telling her how my day is going and prompts her to tell me how her day is in some cases. All in all my replies are designed to get a response without asking a question...
