Roses are most associated with Valentine’s Day in February, but June is National Rose Month.
In June, roses are in bloom, popular at weddings and a symbol of beauty and passion as spring gives way to summer.
They’re also a great value as evidenced by Royer’s annual rose sale, which runs May 22 through June 15 in our stores and online.
Natural growing cycle
Roses are available year-round, but they’re a particularly good value in June thanks to their natural growing cycle.
A rose farm typically harvests its crop every six to eight weeks, or about the amount of time between Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day in May. But while there’s another big crop of roses in late spring, there is not a corresponding holiday to absorb all of them.
The sale
That leaves a thorny situation in which supply outstrips demand, making roses more affordable for florists and, by extension, our customers.
Our sale comprises:
- One-dozen rose bunch for $9.42 (in-store only)
- A Rosie arrangement featuring one-dozen or two-dozen colored roses for $46.99 or $56.99, respectively
- A Rose Delight arrangement with four-dozen colored roses for $99.99, or $15 off the regular price.
- Three-dozen arranged long-stemmed red roses for $149.00, or $20 off.
Whether you’re giving them as a gift to someone else or showing yourself a little love, roses are ready and at an even better value through June 15.
