What flowers should I send to my girl friend?

The first question to ask yourself is "What kind of flower does she like?", and next "Which colour does she like?".

If you have no idea, you may send her pink roses or tulips for the first time. After which, you really have to find out what she like. If she has no preference, sending her roses will be the best choice.

Below shows what our customers normally buy for their loved ones;

- Red Roses : 34%
- Pink Roses : 33%
- Tulips : 8%
- Lilies : 7%
- Others : 18%

Please feel free to Ask Jurliss, it is our pleasure to share our experiences with you.

Will My Roses Bloom?

This is a commonly asked question by many of our customers.

Let's answer this question based on whether the roses are in a round-shape hand bouquet or not.

Roses in a round-shape hand bouquet are usually not blooming due to space constraints as they are surrounded by other flowers and greens which restrict them from blooming.
It is advisable to keep the roses in the bouquet. To keep the flowers alive, small amount of water can be added to the bouquet daily. Cottonwool within the bouquet will keep the water for the flowers. Place the bouquet in cool environment, ideally between 9C to 11C.

Roses in vase will tend to bloom provided that;
1. Change water and trim the stem (1~2cm) daily.
2. Stay away from direct sunlight.
3. AND place them in environment of 9C to 11C.
4. Keep the stem up-right. This is to ensure efficient water up-take to the flowers.
(stem portion that is directly below the rose is relatively weak. This port will droop if the water up-take is inefficient, i.e. lack of water supply. If the rose droops, keep the rose straight up by wrapping a piece of paper around it and place the rose stem back in the water for an hour. The rose will become "alive" after have a good drink of water. This method is used to solve the inefficient water up-take problem and cannot be used to revive a dying rose.)

However, there are exceptions even when the above 4 points are observed.
The most common encounter is "the roses are too young or inmature". This encounter is obvious during high-demand seasons like Valentine's Day. To meet the demand, growers cut the roses to meet the demand when the roses are still too young.
