We've been carrying the speaking roses for a few years, now. Very happy with the product and the customer response. Only complaint is the lead time required - it would be nice to be able to do custom on the spot orders

Ryan... I take your coment to mean that you sell them...not produce them?

I was on the FTD "beta test" when they had the machine in my shop...could not get the @@@@ thing to work well enuf to put my name on them...is it a drop ship item now?

Our rose wholesaler has the Canadian license for them. We're the biggest seller of spaking roses in Toronto, possibly the country.

And yes, they look great

I couldn't open the link. In our shop for Valentine's Day we went to a local print shop and ordered a rubber stamp of an Open Heart and one that said "I Love You". We also bought a Gold stamp pad.
We offered "Gold Embossed" roses @ 75 cents per rose. Some customers paid extra to have some of the foliage stamped also. A Great Money Maker!
We also were surprised that no shop in town sold rose petals. We alway keep the guard petals we remove in a plastic ice cream tub and sell them all year. The info has spread (somehow) and we get folks asking are you the florist that sells roses petals? Pure Profit!
