How to tell whether 'lui' refers to a him or a her

I've forgotten something: How would I know that the 'lui' as in 'Il lui envoie deux mille rose' is a female & not a male (as in 'He sent 2 million roses to him' ?)

This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing large numbers -thousands/millions/billions - in French"
