"The roses you buy at Valentine’s Day were harvested around Xmas. It’s the worst time of the year to buy roses and I don’t mean because they’re more expensive. They’re also the worst quality because it’s a longer holding time between harvest and use than any other time of the year.

Never ever ever send flowers through an order processing service. Look at the location you’re in or sending to and talk to a florist in that area directly. Don’t pick a picture off some external website. Ask the florist what they have and can make that fits your budget. If you’re worried, ask them to text you a pic of the completed design."
