Looking for a florist? Valentines Day Roses

Tails142

Hey guys;

Want to do a bit better this year than a crummy half dead single rose from Tesco.

Looking for a florist who I can order from and pick up the flowers from on Valentines Day. Looking for the usual, 12/24 roses with a bit of that green stuff... something classic

Anyone know what florist to go to or is that pretty much standard for them all to pre-arrange the pick up? I'm based in the city centre near Leeson Street.

Looking for a decent price too, was looking at interflora.co.uk and £500 pound for a hundred roses nearly made me fall of my seat. Would be sweet though but who could afford that. Anyone know where I might get a good deal or is pretty much the case that no matter where I go I'll pay a high premium for flowers on Valentines day

Lidl.

I know it sounds crazy, but theyre really fantastic value.
plus pointless spending lotsa money on roses when theyre just gonna die in few days.
Buy ur roses in lidl. then splash out on ur o/h & buy decent bit of jewelery. always more appreciated.


Ps. just cos theyre from lidl, doesnt mean theyre crap quality.
they will prob last longer than the ones u pick up in ur local florist & wont break the bank.
Best of luck

believe me - your girlfriend will love it when you present her with 12 handmade roses (12 roses of decent size will probably take 3 hours to make by the way).

IN THE BAG!

Went down to lidl this morning and got my roses. Went for the deluxe 34.99 - they look great, large head on them and that white and green stuff running through them.

They only had maybe 3 or 4 of those type bouquets though so you would want to get your skates on if you're thinking about it. The bouquet I got actually had 13 roses in them think I'll take the extra one out though cause my girlfriend is weird about stuff like that.

Just hope they last alright till thursday!!

You can buy them up to 4 days before the big day & pop them in water.
florists already have their flowers in large fridges since the weekend!!
so when youre buying in a florist, theyre not as fresh as you might think!
plus, they would have been shipped over in a freighter from holland etc.

I dropped into Lidl on the way home, the selection was desperate. Must have been a rush on them this morning and allt he good ones taken. Will try superquinn tomorrow
