Suffering from hay fever? Then bring roses into the house!
Spring is a wonderful season for most people. But for some people, that only means one thing: hay fever. This is very annoying, as these people often cannot tolerate flowers in the house. And yet flowers are the ultimate happy makers, to give and to receive. Fortunately, this does not apply to all flowers and people with hay fever or sensitive airways can enjoy roses in the home. Why? Because roses cause the least allergic symptoms compared to other flowers.
Hay fever
Hay fever is caused by floating pollen. Most plants, grasses, trees and flowers are pollinated by the air. June used to be called the "hay month". The month when people suffered most from hay fever. Nowadays, however, hay fever complaints occur mainly between February and September. When you suffer depends on the flowering period of the flowering grasses, flowers, plants or trees to which you are allergic. If you are unlucky, you will suffer throughout the season. Fortunately, there are also flowers that are pollinated by insects, so the pollen does not float around in the air. These flowers, including roses, are more suitable for people with hay fever. Fortunately, hay fever does not mean that you will never again be able to put a beautiful, colourful bouquet of flowers on the table. You just need to know which flowers.
Roses and hay fever
Fortunately for anyone with hay fever, there are some flowers that are low in pollen, such as roses. So people with hay fever are a little less sensitive to roses. It is helpful if your partner, friends and family know this as well, so they can surprise you with a beautiful bouquet of roses*. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that the recipient will not suffer from hay fever when receiving our roses. Unfortunately, roses are no guarantee that people with hay fever will not have a reaction to the pollen. Because roses have pollen too.
*Instead of a bunch with 30 or 50 roses, we recommend choosing a smaller bouquet. At Surprose you can buy 1 single rose, 3 roses or choose your own number of roses from 10. Smaller bouquets are also beautiful for the house. And besides, it's all about the gesture.
Extra tip for a bouquet of roses
You can also order long-life roses from us. These are preserved roses. They are real roses that have been treated so they can stay beautiful for several years. So you still have real roses in your home, but they are not as intense as fresh roses. Perhaps this is a really good option if you have hay fever. Popping out?
