Online Rose Samples?

Amber598

I am going to DIY with my bouquets and centerpieces.  I am starting my research with online websites that sells roses at wholesale price.  I have found several websites that have great deals, with the general color scheme I am going for...however none of them say if I can order a sample.  I want to make sure that the rose is the correct color in person, and I also want to see how they bloom.  My plan is to order 1 of every orange rose and pick the one that is the closest to my color scheme.

Do I just need to email the website and ask if they do that?  Or is that option not on there because they don't do samples.  Does anyone know of an online site that DOES do samples?  I am looking for orange roses btw, which aren't too common.  Thanks!

I've never heard of them doing samples... the flowers usually come packaged in packs of 25 directly from Columbia, Ecuador, etc.

Do you have a floral wholesaler near your town that you could visit?  Usually, they have a cooler with different kinds of flowers in it.  You can look to see if there's a specific variety that will work best.  You might even be able to order from them (a lot of these places will take orders from the public, and they are usually comparable to the online places.)
