Yes, if you care about the impression and message delivered by your roses, a little knowledge about the operations of the floral industry and the process of ordering flowers online is probably more important than you think.

Thanks to the internet you now have the option of sending fresh from the field roses directly from the grower or professionally arranged, florist delivered bouquets. Which option is right for you will depend upon the occasion, timing and delivery destination.

Organic Bouquet and Hallmark offer fresh, grower direct roses picked and delivered with buds ready to burst with natural fragrance and colors. By eliminating the middleman and decreasing warehouse storage time, flowers shipped direct from the grower offer improved quality and value!

1800FLOWERS.com, on the other hand, offers more traditional, professionally arranged roses. Florist delivered flowers are ready to display upon arrival and usually offer a wider variety of selections.

So which option is best for you?

When you want the freshest roses and best value, direct from the grower flowers are definitely the way to go. They are typically scheduled for delivery Tuesday through Saturday by overnight air. The roses will need to be arranged so it is best to send grower direct flowers directly to the recipients home. If you are looking for same-day delivery or a professionally arranged bouquet, florist delivery roses will be your best choice. Delivery is usually available Monday through Saturday. For floral gifts being sent to the workplace, hospitals and funeral homes, you will definitely want to select an online provider that utilizes local florist delivery.

One final note, when you are sending roses to a destination with extremely hot or cold temperatures, florist delivered roses are again your best option. It is often easier for a local florist to schedule delivery when the recipient is going to be available to receive them. This ensures that your beautiful roses will not wilt from exposure to the elements.
