NEED HELP!!! Where do I buy bulk rose petals?

[shannonlovesflowers]

I have a bride who wants lots of petals. Please if anyone knows- let me know ASAP!!

Did you check with your wholesaler? When is the wedding? I have saved them as we clean them, seem to do okay for 6 weeks or so in a bag with air, gotta give it a tumble each week or so to prevent rot.

Check with your local supplier. Last week we got 4 test bags of petals, I think they came from Esmerelda... they were very fresh, in 1 gal zip locks...

I remember seeing someone post where to buy petals in 5gal buckets, just can't remember who it was..

This was the thread, maybe you can pm snapdragon studios. Have you asked your supplier yet?

I get my regular standing order wholesaler to ship me all of their left over roses from the last week or two...that way I get fresh petals, no rot, and I pay pennies per stem for them. They are shipped in water, all I need to do is pull out the center petals, and then I use the stems for other design work for free.
