Forced shrubs

Forced shrubs are an extraordinary phenomenon. These are flowering shrubs produced mainly in the Netherlands for cut flower purposes. The shrubs stay outside year-round, except for the few weeks they spend in the greenhouse when they are in bloom.

After 4 weeks or so in the greenhouse, the flower buds have reached the right maturity and are cut. Finally, the shrubs are pruned back significantly and taken outside again to produce new flowers the following year. Which forced shrub will you use in your bouquet?
