What costs more................

Original post by jayandjenny

roses or hydrangeas????????
i love them both, but maybe the cost will help me decide on what i want to use to decorate the bows on the church pews.

Roses - evidently they are the least expensive flower to use. Kinda makes you wonder why florists charge so freaking much for them at all the other holidays/events!

yeah, one of the florists i met with kept pushing me to have all these roses (even though, honestly, i HATE roses) because she said they were cheaper and most cost. but i really really don't like them, so i don't care.

it depends... roses are not expensive at all, but they are small, especially when they are only budding.... so you need a lot of them

hydrangeas are more expensive per bloom, but they're HUGE, so you only need a few for a centerpiece...

My florist told me $14 per stem for hydrangeas!! I couldn't believe it!

I had been told by more than one florist that roses are the most 'cost effective' flowers.



Ive been told the same thing

i am a florist and roses are def cheaper. hydrangea averages $2.50 a stem wholesale for south american and about $5 a stem for dutch which is much larger and heartier. roses are generally $1 or less a stem except red roses at vday.
its all relative though cause one stem of hydrangea takes up the space of anywhere from 3-5 open roses

Hydrangeas seem to cost a few bucks more. Roses I was told are more typical and easier to keep so that makes them less expensive.

I believe it is hydrangea. I am having them in my centerpiece and they are pretty pricey compared to the roses I am having as well.
