Sunny Sun and his wife, Silvia, started The Only Roses in July, 2016. Silvia discovered preserved roses after searching for a nice gift for her mother. She started learning a lot about these preserved roses, including how to put together the bouquets, and started a small online business to sell them. That little business has grown into one of the biggest preserved flower sites on the internet. The Only Roses is the couple's first e-commerce business.
