One Dozen Classic Red Roses

What to Buy

Obviously red roses are the safest choice for a romantic partner. Its hard to confuse the message there. You can spice things up by checking out different colored roses as well. You can also look into more unusual gold dipped varieties.

You might wonder about how many to get. A dozen might seem like overkill if its one of your first few dates. One rose might seem weak if you're in a long term relationship. If you're new to a relationship one rose is usually fine, but a dozen will definitely send a strong message. Older married couples probably don't need a dozen, a couple will usually do just fine.

When to Buy

Most rose sellers start raising prices significantly about 3 weeks before the big day, so try to order by January 20th or so if you can. Also, you may be tempted to skimp on shipping. This is normally a bad idea as roses are perishable. The last thing you want is for your partner to get wilted roses. What kind of a message are you sending then?

Where to Buy

Your first instinct may be to go to a florist or big online retailer like ftd.com. These may not be the best options. Many florists are middlemen and their flowers may be sitting in a warehouse or florist shop for several days. You want roses that are fresh cut and shipped cool, so they look great when your partner gets them. We've tried many internet retailers and we know the best sources for Valentines Day roses.
