Trends for Valentine's Day Flowers

The look this year is very streamlined, clean cut and elegant. Red roses are back in fashion again, but simpler flower arrangements of seasonal varieties such as tulips are also a keynote in this year’s range. Red roses are classical and making a strong comeback this year. The full range of Valentine’s flowers can be viewed at http://www.serenataflowers.com/category/148.htm . The pick of the bunch is the Red Grand Prix variety with a 90cm stem length which has the largest rose head and the sturdiest stem. Grand Prix roses also come in shorter length where the price and quality drops accordingly. Shorter roses have a smaller flower head and the stem is not as sturdy - the roses just won't last as long as the tallest incarnations. Due to global demand red roses are expensive for Valentine’s Day - a stem of the premium quality grand prix roses that would normally cost £2 will sell for £5 on Valentine's day.

“It is simply market forces in action, imagine what would happen if demand for Petrol would rise twenty fold. The difference is exacerbated since roses cannot be stored to facilitate this seasonal and very much expected rise in demand.”

Steve France, head of operations at Serenata Flowers was quoted as saying.

It doesn't have to be red roses for Valentine's Day. In order of popularity red roses are followed by white, pink and lavender roses. Pink and white roses especially are expected to challenge red roses as the most popular rose colour amongst the style conscious and the flower connoisseurs. Women often prefer to receive white or pink roses, whereas men who are attracted to darker and bolder colours, mostly buys red roses for their romantic messages.

Whilst rose prices increase dramatically during the week of Valentine’s Day, other flowers increase in price too, but not as much. A popular Valentine's gift is a bouquet of some other flower variety but with just one perfect red rose in the centre. Tulips can look incredibly smart, fresh and elegant if presented in a smart vase. Tulips offer exceptional good value for money this time of year since they are in their peak season.
