1. Q. What is the Good Rose motto and manifest?
A. The Smile Rose organization was established by a group of friends who thought it will be a good thing to
create movement in which people hand Smile Roses to others, expressing care and positive intentions.
The aim is to spread and strengthen care between people, bring happiness and hope to all.
2. Q. What does the Smile Rose means?
A. The Smile Rose symbolises Care, Smiles & Happiness, Appreciation & Gratitude, Attention, Faith,
Fellowship & Friendship, Forgiveness, Freedom, Harmony, Hope, Light, Mental support, Openness &
Understanding, Peace, Purity, Purpose, Simplicity, Tolerance & Flexibility, Trust, Tenderness,
Thanks and Love to and towards others and so much more…
3. Q. When was the Smile Rose created?
A. It began in Thailand ca. 32 years ago; when a company founder searched for a “friendly something”
his company can use as symbol and add to goods sent throughout the world to customers.
The Rose Corolla which is made in an old Japanese Origami (folding paper) technique, was available in
many sizes and colors. Wire and Green sticky paper were available too...
A local coordinator sourced for a few older ladies who were trained to assemble & glue together the
components together and create the Smile Rose. As they say – ‘all the rest is history’...
The Smile Roses are Handmade and this process is still in use today...
4. Q. Is the Smile Rose available only in 100 packs?
A. Smile Rose standard shipping quantities are 1, 5, 10 or 50 Smile Rose packs.
There are 100 Smile Rose in each pack (= two self standing cardboard vases with 50 Red color and 7cm stem length handmade Smile Roses are in each envelope).
Please contact us, we offer support and sponsor good deeds and positive activities around the world.
5. Q. Why is The Smile Rose set up as a limited company and not a charitable organization?
A. We checked the possibilities and concluded that a charity organization requires considerable administration as Governments and tax authorities try to prevent charity organization frauds.
In order to save funds and allow the Smile Rose to be shipped for lower costs we chose to locate the company in Hong Kong. This way we save funds, keep the financial system tidy and transparent.
6. Q. Where does the money go?
A. The payments for the ordered Smile Rose are calculated to cover the costs and allow support and sponsoring of positive activities as well as promoting Smile Rose generally. If and when income exceeds running costs then agreed sums may be used towards other similar care and good deeds
7. Q. Who are the Smile Rose friends and volunteers?
A. The Smile Rose friends and volunteers are people as you and me. As we wish to promote and sponsor positive activities as well as good deeds around the globe we welcome everyone who wants to be involved.
If you would like to help us in any way or have an idea to help spread the word, please let us know.
As we are still a small group of Smile Rose friends, we may have difficulties answering all questions and
requests quickly. We are surely searching people who are willing to take part in our activities, answer
e-mails and requests, become regional coordinators, store small amounts of roses
stock for local future activities and so on… Everyone can participate, young and old, no matter what race,
religion or financial status. Individuals, groups, organizations, schools at events of all kinds and
so on… We wish to free the Smile Rose movement from personal advantage and interests and avoid
statements, which may cause offence to any person and/or ethnic group…
We would like to apologize in advance in case you write to us and won’t get an answer quickly.
Please don’t get upset. Feel free to remind us.
We consider the “Handing out ROSES to others and win Smiles” project, a great privilege & a life time opportunity to act for humanity. We truly hope you share the same feeling & desire...
Thank you for your kind understanding and support!
The Smile Rose people
Very important note - Please remember that the Smile Rose is a handmade product and as much as we wish to provide and deliver top quality roses, some faults do appear from time to time. We hope that you understand and forgive any small errors.
