Interflora is no longer smelling of roses after claims that its Valentine's Day 'Ultimate Love Bouquet' isn't, as originally billed, grown mainly in the UK.

The bouquet - which is endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) - costs nearly £200, and was originally claimed to be 60 percent British. However, questions were raised when British growers noticed that the Union Jack-labelled stems included chrysanthemums, myrtle and white hyacinth - all varieties that can't be grown in the UK at this time of year.
