Just learned the hard way: bulk bucket roses vs. boxed roses are not the same thing
I grabbed 5 buckets of bulk roses from a local wholesaler last Wednesday for a wedding order. Usually I buy the boxed import ones from the big supplier. The bulk stems were all twisted and bent at the neck, and 30% of them had snapped heads by Friday morning. I had to scramble and buy boxed roses from another shop at $4 a stem to fix it. Has anyone else run into this difference with bulk roses from smaller growers?

Oh man, I heard someone say the bulk ones are usually spray-treated differently and don't hold up as long... that sounds like a nightmare to deal with.
