Question 1

What is a garden rose, and how does it compare to a grocery store rose?

Accepted Answer

Garden roses are a fundamentally different flower. Standard roses are hybrid tea varieties, bred for uniformity and shelf life — not beauty. Garden roses have 80–120+ petals per bloom, a naturally fuller shape, deeper color, and the kind of fragrance most hybrid teas simply don’t have. These are the varieties florists specifically source and charge $8–12 per stem for.

Question 2

How long will my roses last?

Accepted Answer

With proper care, up to 10 days — nearly double the lifespan of standard roses. Trim the stems at an angle when they arrive, keep them in fresh, cool water, and away from heat and direct sunlight.

Question 3

What does "farm-direct" mean?

Accepted Answer

Your flowers travel from the farm straight to you, with no importers, brokers, wholesalers, or florists in between. The typical cut flower passes through five hands before it reaches a customer, spending days in storage at each step. Ours skip every one of those steps — which is why they arrive fresher and cost considerably less.

Question 4

Do the roses arrive fully open?

Accepted Answer

No — they arrive in bud and open gradually over 2–3 days. This is intentional: the gradual opening extends vase life, so you get to watch them unfold rather than watching them fade.

Question 5

What occasions are these good for?

Accepted Answer

Any. They work as a gift — birthday, anniversary, thank you, just because — or simply for your own home. At $34.90 a bunch, they’re the kind of thing you send on a Tuesday because you were thinking of someone, not just for a special occasion.

Question 6

Can I send these as a gift?

Accepted Answer

Yes. They arrive in a carefully packed box designed to protect the blooms in transit. Add a personal note at checkout. A vase is not included, so the recipient will need one on hand.

Question 7

Are they sustainably grown?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our farm partner holds Florverde certification — one of the leading standards for responsible flower cultivation, covering environmental practices, worker welfare, and community standards.
