The media reported that the rose growers from the Lonavla in Maharashtra have started exporting their roses directly to foreign customers to get a better price. During valentine’s day, the demand for roses in Western countries is at the maximum and to cater to the demand, the rose growers have come together to get a good price of about Rs 15 per rose. In the domestic market, the price of these roses is lower at Rs 10 per flower. Some of the types of roses which are popular include Bordeaux, Top secret, Amazon, and these roses are sold with a long stem. In metro cities, the price of a rose can be as low as Rs 5, however the stem of the rose will be cut.
The rose growers were shown packing the roses in a brown cardboard before exporting the roses, and in 2016, they are reported to be making a good profit as they have eliminated the middleman for export.

After a few buds of the hibiscus plant bloomed in january 2016, the large brown ants which had attacked the plant, resumed the attack. The ants are considered to have a symbiotic relationship with aphids who lay their eggs on the plant to form a white layer, adversely affecting the blooming of the hibiscus flower.

Now it has been observed that the dark green leaves of the hibiscus plant are again wilting and have become a bright shade of yellow, before falling off. When no flowers are blooming on the hibiscus plant, both the ants and aphids are leaving the plant alone, allowing the flowers to bloom.

After several weeks a small hibiscus flower bloomed, yet again the plant was attacked by ants and aphids with the white aphids covering the stem of the hibiscus plant with a layer of white eggs. It appears that the ants are attracted by the nectar of the hibiscus plant.
Earlier the ants which were spotted on the hibiscus plant were fairly large, now the new ants are quite small. A knife or similar tool will be needed to remove these ants and aphids from the hibiscus plant or no more flowers will blossom on the hibiscus plant.
Orange oil was recommended online, however when rotting oranges were placed near the base of the hibiscus plant, there was no effect on the ant attack, it continued.
Other suggestions to remove the aphids and ants from the hibiscus plant will be appreciated
