Aren't you just paying way too much at a florist for "The Exact Same Thing?!" Actually, no. It's all about freshness baby! Here's the difference in a nutshell: A rose is cut early in the morning at our flower farm out on the coast. That rose is sent same-day air to The Flower Shoppe here in Blaine, we literally have it in our cooler within hours of picking up from the airport. We can smell the air from the flower farm when we open the rose boxes. No joke, it's wonderful. Our roses are so fresh , that they will last in a vase for over a week, sometimes almost 2 to 3 weeks! Can you get 2 weeks of beauty from roses you buy at a grocery store or super chain? There's no way! When you consider the cost, ours come out CHEAPER by the day, than it cost for buying roses at a grocer. Seriously, do the math and test it out. Thanks! The Flower Shoppe , (763) 784-2536
