Okay – so what’s the price of diesel got to do with ROSES? Well, firstly let me explain – we grow all our roses hydroponically here on the farm in Warnervale – we only sell what we grow and therefore we have control of the quality & freshness at all times. Yesterday – I was out delivering beautiful bouquets and baskets full of fresh roses…….when I had to fill up our delivery van – oh the joys! – I nearly freaked out at the price of diesel for a start and once again when I had to cough up the final bill. Heavens! – how do businesses survive with rising costs? Well, they incorporate it into their prices and increase their prices or lower the input costs of the goods. Okay – you have probably guessed where this is going……. a price increase? Yes – to a point – but please hear me out – we have set prices for our roses and then a delivery cost……. clear and transparent! However, a lot of other florists offer FREE delivery – well, that is a myth – someone has to pay for the fuel and I can tell you right now – YOU will be paying because although the delivery will be FREE? (yeah right!) you will get less flowers for your money! So – with that in mind – please note you can always get the best quality roses at the best value for money prices right here at the rose farm in Warnervale or our outlet at Ourimbah – but if you want the roses delivered – there is a delivery charge and you know exactly what you are paying for…… what % is roses and what % is fuel! I like to know what I am paying for and I am sure you do too……..
So with tight budgets and high fuel costs in mind remember you can ALWAYS afford beautiful fresh farm roses from A Dozen Roses because our roses don’t cost you an ARM and a LEG and your first born child…….. BUT ONLY $18 per dozen for short stemmed roses; $22 per dozen for medium stemmed roses and $27 per dozen for premium quality long stemmed roses - collected directly from us the ROSE GROWER! BUY FRESH – BUY DIRECT!!!!!! Should you choose to have the roses delivered – it will cost you an extra $20! Still the best value on the Central Coast for a dozen roses that last a week! Remember your loved one is worth it and with the weekend upon us – wouldn’t it be lovely to have roses in the house!
Have a rosey weekend! I will chat to you tomorrow! Yes – it’s Saturday but it’s the joys of being a rose grower – we work 7 days a week – the roses don’t know it’s the weekend and keep on blooming!!!!! (YIPPEEE!!!!)
