Just heard on the news that roses are going to be way more expensive this yr than last due to all the cold weather we're having. I've used Atascocita Flourists for yrs,  they are good, I'll admit, but really have gone up in the last few yrs. I believe the yr before last, they were at $99 for a dz long stems, last yr (when I decided I was going to do shop some this yr), if I remember correctly, they were like $150 (she likes white, which is more, and delivery), which I thought was a big jump.I haven't even called yet, what are they going to be this yr, $200, or more. It's getting ridiculous.But....as goofy as us guys think they are (and some gals), my gf of more than 10 yrs likes them, she doesn't ask for much, a few times a yr, but she like Roses (she's not into the getting them at work deal (I do it anyway), but sitting on her table). I searched here (if I was needing to make some extra $, that's what I'd do), KYYS, Atasc, for somebody doing them on the side, nothing though.What are you guys doing for them? 4951

Roses are my least favorite flower arrangement.   I perfer a mixed bouquet with some lillies or sunflowers....  Better yet just give me a couple hundred bucks and let me go shoe shopping !!!  Or get me a pedi/mani gift card... 4951

Just called Atasc, Flor., the long stem white roses are $95, she said same as last yr. I don't know why I think I paid $150 for them last yr (still think I did, maybe it was cause I was in there a day before VD), but I had to straighten that at for Atasc. Flor. sake. 4951

The $15 big pretty rose bouquets from Kroger will do just fine for me. Even the $10 ones from Walmart. I'd kill DH if he spent $100 on some flowers that were going to die. 4951

@BooBear: You gals always say that (mine said the same thing), but I'm not taking my chances (either is your hubby) that ya'll really mean it, lol.I am lucky that my gf says I'd have to beat her over the head with a BB bat and knock her out to take her out to eat on VD (I'm not doing all that) with all the 2 hr waits and all, and she's more happy with a meal I make her at home, but on the Roses deal, I think I'm in.Did find a real nice lady on CL that's selling them for $45, put in my order.

I am not a big rosé fan either. I would rather have one on one time, a nice dinner and a movie and dancing. 4951

My previous work ruined any thing special about Valentine's day and Mothers day. I was always saddened to see how petty, crazy and *****y people can be. It made me wonder what exactly your man or woman could possibly see in you.
 
not directed at anyone, just didnt know how to say what I was sayingEmoticon 4951

@Queen_of_Spayeds: That's not what I found, 1-800 flowers, ect (I've tried most of them) make them sound cheap, and then. oh, you want a vase, this fee, that fee, delivery, and then, oh, you want them on VD, not a day before, that's another fee. And too many stories of wiltered flowers/roses, looking like crap, or worse, not even showing up. I wanna see them before buying, for sure.
