We will see, I'm sure the Dutch growers have thought about this and are ready to flood the market so we can all get a decent price red rose this year.
Oh and Interfloras 12 red roses in a vase for 39.99 sounds a good deal  |
trust me, the market wont be flooded this year.
The bigggest problem is that florists dont want import roses to sell as best quality, and the Dutch production doesnt cover the demand required nowadays. Look at my company. In a normal week we sell about 15,000 red roses. Valentines week in excess of 200,000.
What does rattle my cage is when a florists says to her wholesaler " I cant pay 1.50 for a red rose ! I'm only selling them for 3.00 each. " WTF !!
