A Word from Rosaholics 

All types of red flowers are perfect for regions with overcast summers and areas with lots of shade and penumbra. Shades of red look especially expressive in cloudy weather, when the diffuse, dim light emphasizes the volume and texture of the red petals, dimming the shades of the green background. Rosaholics florists can always provide you with a fresh bouquet of amazing flowers!
