"Extreme" Roses!



You're not dreaming! These roses really ARE taller than she is! These 'extreme' roses are a stunning 72" long with a bud that is 3" long and almost as wide. (By contrast, the 'average' long-stemmed rose is 28" long with a 1 1/2' bud.)

Native to Ecuador, these gorgeous blooms benefit by the prolonged sunlight and cool nights they experience at their home of 9,600 feet. There is nothing else like them in the world.

Hence their eye-popping price: $250 per dozen plus $60 shipping. Or, if 12 isn't enough, you can upgrade to TWO dozen for 'only' $449.95. Of course, you'll also have to spring for that great brushed aluminum container to hold them. These just won't fit in grandma's little glass vase!

The demand for these roses has been astounding. In fact, they are now on back order until sometime in March. Pity!

But, even if your Valentine bouquet is
more along these lines,
isn't it really just as beautiful?

Amazing that those roses are back-ordered in this economy. They really must be something else! They certainly look spectacular.
