Answer:
No, this is something some ignorant people do. What is given to him is supplication, supplication for healing and well-being, and ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation); he is treated with ruqyah. As for roses and flowers, they are of no benefit whatsoever, and they are among the bad customs. Moreover, if a person believes in them, that is worse; it is worse in terms of 'aqidah (creed). Yes.
