Blood Red Roses

A gentle florist, still mourning his son's murder, learns that the criminal mastermind behind the killing is a rose lover. He cultivates a blood-red rose to attract the gangster's attention while he contemplates his own thirst for revenge and the effect it might have on his friendship with the man's son.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
