Valentines Buying Tips

When comparing and purchasing your roses remember to check  with the florist what variety and length of rose you are purchasing, the price is reflected in these 2 main options.  Some of the more popular rose varieties and their length are shown in the table below. The higher grade and length the more expensive, dont be fobbed off with "yes they are long stemmed roses" check which variety, length.. if below 70 cm then you are going to see a major decrease in the size of the rose head.  Once you go below 60cm then you may as well visit the garage forecourt.

Remember to check if your bouquet comes with foliage and style of packaging, when ordering long length good quality rose in our experience you should go with a classic bouquet to avoid the need for the florist to "cut down" the stems of the rose in a hand tied or hand tied in water.  

We will be supplying either the Red Naomi or Grand Prix at 80 cm or 90 cm depending on price from our Dutch supplier.  Prices change constantly in the auction due to demand which is why we cannot give you a definate grade until 2 days before Valentines day.  One thing you can be certain of,  they will be the best quality rose we can obtain at a reasonable price.
