Adding a few of the miniature sheet issue which I have missed out previously, and here's the first one – a stamp issue by Pos Malaysia on roses, which happened to coincide with Valentine's Day in 2014. The rose, a well-known flower with its beautiful, fragrant bloom and wide range of colours is often called the Queen of Flowers. Roses in general are used by generations of the old and young alike to celebrate or commemorate important occasions, and to express love and gratitude. This second series of rose-themed stamp issue features the Hybrid Tea Rose in a beautiful heart-shaped stamp on the miniature sheet. Hybrid teas are a group of roses created by crossbreeding two types of roses, initially by hybridising hybrid perpetuals with tea roses. This stamp issue also comes with another three designs in the regular stamps – click here for more details.
