Single Rose

Danger Phoenix · 6 Feb 2006 at 10:11

I am looking for a good online place to order a single rose to be delivered for Valentines day, with a personal message. Anyone know of any reliable companies? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Couldn't you buy one locally and deliver it in person?

Danger Phoenix · 6 Feb 2006 at 12:26

I could do that... but I plan to buy one for two girls in the house, so I rather not be there... its more of a friendship rose than a Valentines Day rose. Also it would take me around 45 mins on the bus to get to their place in the morning... effort

Looks nice, but can I include a message with that?

EDIT: Yes, I can

(seem to have answered my own question)

Ive just realised, that although the rose is pretty good value, for something that looks decent, it will be delivered in a Tesco Van won't it?

Yeah, exactely my thought!

Are you supposed to send it to the person or to yourself so you can give it to them though?

From the Tesco page linked to in this thread...

Delivery information

Order by Midnight Fri 10th February for delivery from 7th February to 14th February. The exact day of delivery for Flowers by Post cannot be guaranteed.

Sounds to me like they'll use regular post, probably cheaper for them than running their van somewhere for such a small order.

Ahh right... fair enough... thats alright then!

*knock knock*
"Yes?"
"Excuse me madam, I'm from Tesco. Someone has ordered this red rose for you"
"Oh, how sweet of him"
"Also, here is the vaseline, cucumber, whipped cream, pregnancy test and sleeping tablets they also bought. Have a nice day."

I'm doing this thing at school, a valentines rose delivery service. It's amazing when you find out the price jack up they do. We got our roses for 75p each and the flower shop get them for about 50p each then put £7 on them for some pretty paper and a ribbon. My advice local florist.

We did that sort of thing for Young Enterprise at school... works pretty well!

Yeah it does, except i have to spend 4 hours tomorrow wrapping up roses in lovely valentine paper :/

Also the downside was going to the school office, finding out each class's timetable... and then going round to find each person to deliver them.

Anyways, I have just ordered 2 of the Tescos Roses... for 2 special girls! I have not put my name on them, but since they live in the same house, they will know it was from me!

I ordered one from www.interflora.com last year. Perhaps a bit more pricey than other places though.
