Julie Ann Lacsina, 33, is a single mother with a three-year-old daughter. She is currently employed in a BPO company but she spends most of her time as an entrepreneur in Angeles City, Pampanga who sells high-quality roses.
She began growing roses in August 2020 but she had reservations about starting her new hobby. She had the notion that roses will not survive in Central Luzon because of the weather.
But because she’s really interested in learning how to grow roses and wanted to challenge herself to break boundaries, Lacsina did all she can to learn how to grow roses. Through experimenting, observing the roses in her care, and absorbing all the information she can about how to grow the flowers from YouTube videos and online articles, Lacsina managed to grow all kinds of varieties such as Pitimini’s, climbing roses, American roses, Japanese roses, Korean roses, Ecuadorian roses, and even roses that are not yet out in the market.
