Why Roses Cost More When Love Is in the Air - Valentine's Day 2026

Posted by Sat, Feb 07, 2026 @ 12:15 PM

KSBADGE_25-02Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and we are diligently preparing our shop with exquisite arrangements and charming bouquets for you to select from! Among all the lovely flowers, the rose stands out as the top choice. Celebrated as the beloved flower of Venus, the goddess of Love, roses are in high demand worldwide.

 

Yet, this surge in popularity prompts the question - why are roses so costly at this time of year? It's an intriguing question, and we have the answer ready for you!

 

Click the video to uncover the behind-the-scenes secrets of product pricing and how it impacts both our business and our valued customers.

 

One of the primary reasons roses are so pricey around Valentine's Day is their lengthy growth cycle. It takes a full sixty days for a rose bush to yield a mature bloom. To satisfy the high demand for Valentine's Day, growers face a tough choice in December—they must reduce the production of their current rose crop by harvesting them prematurely. This means they have to forgo a potentially good crop to make space for the roses needed for Valentine's Day. It's a risky decision, especially given the unpredictable nature of adverse weather conditions.

Moreover, growers encounter challenges because roses are perishable and space is limited. They can't store roses for long as they would wilt and become unsellable. Additionally, the increased cost of heating during winter and reduced daylight hours also drive up the price of roses. Ultimately, the grower determines the price of roses, which is elevated due to the crop reduction in December. This extra cost is then passed along each level of the market—from the grower to the wholesaler, to the florist, and finally to the customer.

Another element affecting the price of roses is transportation. Many roses are brought in from places like Ecuador, Colombia, and even from within the United States, such as California. As the demand for roses rises, so does the requirement for cargo space. This results in more vehicles on the roads and in the skies to deliver these sought-after flowers. The costs keep piling up—from reducing crops to meet Valentine's Day demand, to increasing the number of vehicles, and spending more on fuel.

It's not just Valentine's Day that drives up the demand for roses early in the year. Events like the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, and the Tournament of Roses parade also require an enormous quantity of roses. The average float in the Rose Parade uses about 160,000 flowers, underscoring the widespread appeal of roses.

Now that you're aware of the reasons behind the steep price of roses, you might be questioning whether to purchase them this year. At Gillespie's, we recognize the cost concerns and provide a range of alternatives to roses. Stargazer lilies, gerbera daisies, carnations, alstroemeria lilies, hydrangeas—the choices are plentiful! Our design team has crafted beautiful bouquets for Valentine's Day that will delight your loved one, with or without roses. Click below to explore our Valentine's Day specials this year!

Luxury Bloom Care Guide 2026

Posted by Sun, Feb 01, 2026 @ 08:30 AM

KSBADGE_25-02🌹 Your Luxury Bloom Care Guide
Simple steps to keep your Valentine’s flowers fresh, vibrant, and breathtaking.

Your luxury floral arrangement is designed to make a statement—and with just a little care, it can stay beautiful for days to come. Follow these expert tips to help your roses, lilies, and premium blooms look their best.

1. Refresh the Water Regularly

Keep It Clear:
Check the water level daily. If the water looks cloudy or drops below the stems, it’s time for a refresh.

The Perfect Pour:
Use lukewarm water mixed with the provided flower food to nourish your blooms and keep your roses or carnations properly hydrated.

2. Give Them a Fresh Trim

The 45-Degree Cut:
Every 2–3 days, trim about one inch from each stem at a 45-degree angle to improve water absorption.

Clean Cuts Matter:
Always use sharp scissors or floral shears. Clean cuts prevent stem damage and allow your flowers to drink more efficiently.

3. Choose the Right Location

Stay Cool:
Place your arrangement in a cool area away from direct sunlight, heating vents, or drafty windows to slow wilting.

Fruit-Free Zone:
Keep flowers away from ripening fruit. The natural gases released can cause roses and lilies to fade prematurely.

4. Prune for Longevity

Keep It Tidy:
Remove any fallen petals or leaves from the water to reduce bacteria and extend the life of your arrangement.

Individual Bloom Care:
For designs like the Indianapolis Sweetheart, gently remove individual lily blooms as they fade so the remaining flowers can continue to shine.

💡 Pro Tip for Statement Arrangements
For grand designs like the Room Full of Roses & More, use a small watering can to add water directly into the glass vase. This helps maintain hydration without disturbing the carefully crafted design of the 36 roses.

26V06-Bohemian-Rhapsody_800🌹 In Summary

With just a little daily care, your luxury floral arrangement can remain vibrant, fragrant, and stunning well beyond Valentine’s Day. Refreshing the water, trimming stems, choosing the right location, and gentle pruning all help preserve the beauty and longevity of your blooms—so you can enjoy every moment they bring.

Avoid the Stress - Shop Early for Valentine's Day

Posted by Tue, Jan 21, 2025 @ 03:49 PM

20230715_152752_0000Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and Gillespie Florists is here to help you make this day truly unforgettable. However, if there’s one piece of advice we can give, it’s this: shop early for your Valentine's Day flowers and gifts. Here’s why planning ahead is the secret to a stress-free, love-filled celebration.

Why Shopping Early for Valentine's Day is the Key to a Stress-Free Celebration

1. Ensure You Get Your First Choice 

Valentine's Day is one of the busiest times of the year for florists. Popular flowers and arrangements can sell out quickly. By shopping early, you’ll get the best selection of fresh, stunning flowers. Whether you're planning to surprise your sweetheart with a classic bouquet of long-stemmed roses or a custom arrangement of their favorite flowers, shopping early ensures you get exactly what you want.

2. Lock in Your Preferred Delivery Time

Timing is everything on Valentine’s Day! Our delivery schedule fills up fast, so placing your order early means you can secure the time or day that works best for you. Whether you want flowers delivered to the workplace for a mid-day surprise or to the home for an intimate evening celebration, planning ahead ensures your flowers arrive on time and in perfect condition.

3. Avoid the Last-Minute Rush

We’ve all been there: waiting until the last minute to find the perfect gift, only to end up feeling stressed and overwhelmed. By shopping early, you can skip the Valentine’s Day chaos and enjoy the process of selecting a meaningful gift. Plus, it gives you peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of.

4. Surprise Them with Something Truly Special

Shopping early allows you to explore unique options and personalize your gift. At Gillespie Florists, we offer custom floral arrangements, gift bundles, and add-ons like chocolates, candles, balloons, and stuffed animals. 

5. Show Them How Much You Care

Planning ahead shows thoughtfulness and care—two things that mean the world on Valentine’s Day. By ordering your flowers early, you’re demonstrating that this special day is a priority for you and that you’ve put time and effort into making it memorable.

Let Us Help You Spread the Love
