Ice N ' RosesFor about three years now , Heuger offers the Ice N ' Roses series , a series combine the other flowers of Christmas Roses with the multiple colors of Lenten Roses and the rich nature of Snow Roses . The demand for this serial publication is increasing yr on year and also this year the requirement has been high than the year before . The Ice N ' Roses serial publication currently consist fifteen varieties in different colors and condition .
Traditional varieties persist on topEven though the popularity for the new series like Ice N ' Roses is grow every year , the demand for the traditional still remain the high . " HGC Wintergold is by far our number 1 variety among the traditional Christmas roses , " Heuger enounce . " This miscellanea is on the grocery for many years now and is still highly demand . "
High requirement across the boardUsually , the need for the newer varieties is increasing twelvemonth by yr and the demand for the classic mixture remain static . Except this year . " We experienced a high requirement for all Hellebores this year and specially again for the Ice N ´ Roses serial . I guess due to the Corona - effect – hoi polloi stay home and drop more money on their home instead of spending it for vacation , restaurants , etc . "
wait back at 2020When looking back at 2020 , Heuger conclude that it has been anything but a boring year . " We had dooms 24-hour interval talk in March / April and only a few weeks later the other extreme with sky high need that hit a dried up securities industry . "
cut-rate sale have never been stronger but organizing production and merchant vessels has never been more ambitious and it still is , he continue . " We had to change a lot of internal processes and that very rapidly . After all it was a good affair as we probably would not have reckon at these processes so closely and would not have made changes so quickly from which we will do good also in a post Corona earthly concern . "
And when looking back he sees more thing he is very grateful for . " I am grateful for doing business in an industry that has proven to be quite resilient in such a crisis , the good relation to our client and suppliers that have been very helpful this twelvemonth , the loyalty and engagement of our employees we could bank on at any time and mayhap most significant : no infections to escort among our staff .
