Factors Affecting Tillie's Rose Prices
Tillie's takes great pride in their roses and is know in Wichita as the Rose Florist. We study different varieties throughout the year to determine which varieties we are going to carry. We especially do a lot of research for our Valentine roses. We study the roses beginning in December to determine which variety will hold up the best during this high demand for roses. We work hard to guarantee the longest and most beautiful roses from our growers. The increase rose prices during January and February is a simple case of supply and demand.
- Valentine's Day inspires the heaviest demand for long-stemmed roses, and several
rosebuds must be sacrificed to create a single long-stemmed rose.
- After the Christmas season demand for red roses is filled, growers need 50-70 days to produce enough roses for Valentine's Day.
- Winter's shorter daylight hours and higher energy costs hamper efforts to grow large rose crops.
- Inclement weather often requires extreme measures to ensure that flowers are delivered in time.
- To fulfill the tremendous number of orders for Valentine's Day flowers, florists have to hire additional help, work longer hours and acquire extra delivery vehicles and drivers
In short, roses in January & February are every bit as special as you would expect.
