why are long stemmed roses more expensive and more popular??

Question

a friend asked me the other day why choose long over short coz he likes short but i like long but why do i even like long? so confused!

Answer 1

It's kind of like why diamonds are more valuable than amethysts. When something is relatively scarce, lots of people value it more. Amethysts are a really pretty purplish stone that you can cut in a diamond cut, but it's much more common than a diamond, so it's not worth as much. In order to produce long stemmed roses, you need to do more pruning. This can sacrifice some developing rosebuds further down the stem, so you get fewer roses per bush when you prune to create long stems. Long stemmed roses can make a taller and more dramatic bouquet than shorter stemmed flowers. Personally, I find either long or short stemmed attractive. If you put short stemmed roses in an attractive container, it can be quite charming, and you might find yourself appreciating the form and color of the roses even more than with the long stemmed ones. Shorter bouquets can be put into some really interesting containers, not just vases - I use old teapots, small pitchers, jars with interesting shapes, etc.

Answer 4

Because of all of the movies where people grab a long stemmed rose to bite on before they start doing the cha-cha!

A long stemmed rose is more elegant, I think. In the end, a rose is a rose... long or short stemmed.

personal choice, long stem roses are cultivated for the effect ,thus you pay the cost.
