Roses

There are hundreds of species of Roses, each of them unique in colour and design, one of the reasons why they are so popular amongst gardeners and flower hobbyists. A vast majority of the Rose species are native to Asia with a small amount native to Europe, North America and North West Africa. They come in different forms depending on their climate and habitat. There are miniature Roses, climbers, and a range of hybrid Roses now available that are crosses between species.

Typically, a dozen long stem Red Roses (red rose products) are delivered for anniversaries to celebrate 12 months of being together. Roses are not only limited to anniversaries but can be used for other occasions such as birthdays and New born babies. Only the colours will change but sending Roses for these occasions is well accepted.

Roses are very popular amongst cut flower crops. They are grown commercially around the world and their popularity has seen them spread from continent to continent to become one of the mainstream flowers found in the marketplace.
