Buying online can usually save you a decent amount of money. The hardest part of purchasing anything online for me is that I rarely have the patience to wait for it to be mailed. Flowers are no different and can also be purchased online. However, it has been my experience that purchasing flowers online does not save any money. In fact, I have found that it usually costs at least double than purchasing from a store. The following is a pricing summary for roses from the most common online flower shops:
- www.ftd.com: $68 for 12
- www.1800flowers.com: $70 for 24
- www.freshroses.com: $46 for 24
- www.flowerclub.com: $55 for 12
- www.hallmark.com: $50 for 12
- www.redenvelope.com: $60 for 24
- www.pcflowers.com: $43 for 12
- www.calyxandcorolla.com: $69 for 12
- www.flowerbud.com: $64 for 50+
- www.marthasflowers.com: $62 for 35
- www.proflowers.com: $45 for 25
Flower prices – [Real Simple]
I just checked with my local Harris Teeter grocery store. $25 for 12 long stem roses. I’m sure other local stores are doing the same thing. No reason to go online for this purchase.
Hi there,
I work for Judysbook and we pulled together a list of rose prices from online and local florists. You can check it out at http://deals.judysbook.com/valentinesdayroses
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers,

[...] Diamonds and chocolates are not a good choice for Valentines Day — that whole child-slavery thing, remember? But flowers look to be a safe and always popular choice. And the folks at Real Simple (via Life Hack) have even made it easy to Internet shop for those 12 roses. [...]
i think most flower shops these days use plant food to extend the life of cut flowers”-”
