Golden roses hit China on Valentine’s Day

Beijing : Golden coloured roses, specially imported from South Korea, are selling like hot cakes in a Chinese city on Valentine’s Day.

The roses — called “Golden Princess” — are specially coloured by a spray method, the China Daily reported.

The flowers are priced at 10,000 yuan (around $1,600) for a bunch of 52 in Guilin city of Guangxi Zhuang region.
