Roses are smelly - where are they from?

Several weekends ago I went back to visit the family in kampung. It was already near maghrib time when mother and me decided to smell the roses just outside the living room downstairs. I asked mother about roses-sniffing-men.

Mother said,
Apo salah eii.... asalkan bungo tu haghum
Kalau bungo busuk, sapo pun tak hingin nak cium...

I ventured,
Tapi omak ponah nampak oghang lolaki cium rose?

Mother replied,
Ontah lah...itu tak ponah topikir dek sei nak poghati...

Mother is so complicated (read: infuriating) sometimes.
