Photos | People buy roses for love on Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day today (Feb. 14), a number of florists have launched special promotions, such as a 20% discount on the usual price, free bouquet bags or flash decorations, etc. Some unpacked 9 roses are sold at HK$40 only.

Some shopkeepers said that there were fewer people in the morning and it was estimated that the business would be even worse in the afternoon. It is expected that the business turnover will be half of that in previous years, which may be attributed to the fact that some Hong Kong people took the opportunity of the Chinese New Year holidays to go north to buy flowers in the Mainland, thus resulting in a decrease in the business of ordering flowers, they said.
