Costs of roses?
The best place to get accurate regional prices is the local boards at http://talk.theknot.com . Prices vary so much depending on where you are. One "smallish town" may be more expensive than another "smallish town", and even in the same town prices will vary from one florist to another.
In general though, roses are actually one of the least expensive flowers you can buy, contrary to popular belief.
Reply:If you're looking to make your own bouquets and just need roses in bulk, try a price club, like Sam's club. They have excellent prices on roses.
Reply:my parents own i flower shop and around a bouquet of roses in a vase is around $54 but wrapped up its around $35 for a dozen
Reply:At a florist, you could spend around $4/bloom. We got most of our roses through Costco, and paid really low prices. We had something like 40 dozen for under $1000. I would definitely recommend using them if there is someone you could work with there to place a custom order. And they were gorgeous. (We used them for my wedding and my little bro's)
Reply:Around here (Bay Area, California) I can get my hands on a bouquet of 12 roses for around $10-$15, so bet on paying around a dollar a piece, although if you're buying bulk (are you just looking to make a bridal bouquet, or are you decorating the room?) and the florist knows that, they're more likely to give you a discount since they know you'll be dropping a lot of dough in their shop.
Reply:Although some vendors try to jack up the cost when you mention the word "wedding", usually flower shops don't. Roses are usually the same price no matter what the purpose is.
Reply:You can sometimes find roses for around 20 a dozen. I did a wedding where we went to the local superstore and asked to order ahead for 12 dozen and we got a deal of 12 dollars a dozen. We never mentioned wedding and they did not ask. The flowers were delivered the day before the wedding and were amazingly fresh and beautiful.
Reply:I don't think it would matter if you told them they were for a wedding or not. I think the higher prices come in when you add the labor of making the bouquets and arrangements. My mom paid $1600 for my flowers but that is for everything. All the arrangements at the church, bouquets, centerpieces, boutineers, petals for the flower girl, cake, corsages, set up, delivery, and to pick up the items from the church. Roses do vary in price locally so I would call around the florists in your area and just ask them how much roses are per stem. I would think between $1-$3 each.
