Recently we sent a dozen roses to an American serviceman serving in Iraq. We got a note from his wife asking us to coordinate getting the flowers sent to the APO box, hopefully before his birthday. Just in case you don't know - an APO is a special address that is routed to US military personnel so that mail can get to them wherever they are stationed. While getting this package ready I noted that this was a great solution for sending flowers to anyone that is in a region where the climate is not very hospitable.
The advantages of sending artificial roses over real roses is not just cost - generally it cost less to sent in every way. Silk Roses are also more resilient and less maintenance - best of all, they don't wilt. Shipping is hard on flowers but because silk flowers are made of polyblends they ship like clothing. They can take the heat and the banging around that goes with shipping to a military base.
When they arrive at their destination your loved one can enjoy them just as you had hope and won't need to toss them after a few days. Silk Roses come in lot's of colors, so they don't need to be just a valentines thing - send them just to remind someone you care and you are thinking of them.
Fake roses look like real
roses, but they don't die. No wilting after a few days, no dropping petals - Silk
Roses are made to hold there shape and beauty - even in the harshest of climates.
