Men have been gifting women a bouquet of roses on Valentine’s days for many years. Women will always love roses because they give them an ephemeral and exciting feeling, they flatter them and they arouse the admiration of their friends, colleagues and family.

Men have traditionally been buying roses from florists, supermarkets, and large online retailers, but there is a growing trend toward ordering roses directly from the farm. Here are 7 reasons why:

one. Cooler and better quality roses

Farm roses are fresher. Again, the reason for this is the fact that they are sent directly to the recipient. Getting fresh roses is important because the clock starts ticking the moment they are picked. In some cases, the buyer receives the flowers the same day they are cut with roses from the farm.

With a florist, non-direct online retailer, or supermarket, roses often need to be transported from distant distribution centers or warehouses to local warehouses and then to the florist’s shop, which means they usually reach the buyer when they already they are few. Old days.

two. Cost savings

Buying roses directly from the farm is usually cheaper. Buyers can save 20% to 50% of the cost. The lower price is due to the fact that there are no intermediaries: the farm sends the flowers directly to the buyer. With a florist, the florist and everyone else in the product chain need a cut, which adds to the cost. Men can use the money saved for a delicious dinner, which women would love too.

3. Best service

Companies that sell direct-grown roses want to attract and retain customers. This, and the fact that they cater to a smaller customer base, means that they generally have very good customer service, including custom-packed boxes. Businesses that have their own access to the farm are better able to handle flower emergencies (such as delivery problems).

Four. Rare / special rose varieties

Men should always make their women feel special. With farm roses, men can buy roses that they will never find at the big online flower retailers. Certain farms can grow super tall roses that grow up to 4 feet. Roses that end up in florists, supermarkets, and online flower retail outlets are generally mass produced and only come in standard lengths.

5. Traceability

With direct-grown roses, the buyer will know exactly where each stem comes from. This is important as different farms have different approaches to chemicals and pesticides. Buyers can purchase roses from flower farms that use sustainable fertilizers and biological control and whose flowers are certified by fair trade groups and the Rainforest Alliance.

6. convenience

Buying roses directly from the farm provides incomparable convenience. With florists and supermarkets, the shopper has to take time to walk into the store, wait for the flowers to be packed, and then move around with the flowers. Farm roses are delivered at home, in the office or wherever they are needed.

7. Support the community

Buying roses directly from farms helps farmers and gives them better profit margins than the traditional flower industry can provide. This allows the farm and its workers to work in better and safer conditions that are environmentally friendly and therefore produce higher quality roses.
