When you go from Florist website to Florist website looking for Valentine's Roses, and you view different prices and wonder why one set of Valentine's Roses is different from the next? Well, I thought The Bloom Closet would explain some of the reasons...
Here is a example...This is a design from Teleflora...here is the description..
A dozen red roses arrive perfectly arranged in a clear glass vase.
This design features roses in what looks like a 8" tall vase, but notice there is no description on how tall the flowers are, really no description at all. One reason for this is that a Teleflora florist will be more likely to fill this order since no size is listed, so instead of getting the nice size arrangement you are looking at, you may get Short Stem Roses, sometimes labeled medium, the total length of the rose is 15" long (40cm), and the buds are generally 1" in diameter and 1.5" high. They cost $59.95 and a 13.99 service fee.
The Roses from 1-800Flowers look about the same, except they are one sided, meaning that you have a wall of greenery in the back, nothing wrong with that, just not the usual style for the holiday. So if your Valentine sits in the office they can look at there flowers or they can look at the back of their flowers so everyone else can enjoy them.

They do list a size though, 22" high. So they are probably using a 19" rose (50cm), which is a little larger and the same price point at $59.99.
But they are offering a free delivery, but then they charge a $13.99 Service Fee.
These are the Roses from FTD. They are listed as long Stemmed, but they have no length listed. They also are priced higher at $69.99 and their service charge is $14.99, but you still don't know what size you are getting.

That's it, no special handling or service fee, just the roses.
