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.
