Finnish: Ei se mikään ruusu ole mutta kukkiihan se perunakin.”
English: It’s not a rose but even potatos bloom too.
What the saying means: A phrase used for mocking ugly women ie. comparing a woman with a potato instead of a rose. Potatoes may be ugly but they are useful as they are edible, while roses are merely beautiful but have no other use.
