Supermarkets woo romantics in war of the roses

SUPERMARKETS are embroiled in a war of the roses as they try to woo romantics down their aisles with this year’s best value Valentine’s flowers.

Discount chain Lidl is offering a dozen red roses from as little as €6.99 with a luxury bunch on sale for €34.99 and single stems for €2.99 each.

Tesco is trying to pull punters by offering them 25% in ‘reward vouchers’ if they spend €20 on Valentine’s flowers, champagne and sparking wine.
