How do I make jpeg image background transparent?

[jamiehutber]

Thanks for the links! but isn't the answer I'm looking for.

I don't want to remove the background as there's nothing to remove.
I want to know how to make the white background of the Rose invisible when it is placed in illustrator. Please look at the example attached.
Anyone know how I could do that either with Photoshop or Illustrator?
Thanks!

I had to sign up to this site. It was painful to read all of the comments giving you suggestions for photoshop. What's wrong with people. Good if your trying to help but the guy who just gave you google links was obviously just proving a point.

Remi, Thanks for the info!

I managed to sort it out

So dude how'd you fix it?

Hello Jamie,

How was it painful to read suggestions about Photoshop when this is a Photoshop forum?
