Establish your budget and the dates when you need them. Although long-stemmed roses vary in price depending on their size, it's always good to establish a price range, especially if you are on a budget.

Buy them off-season. February is definitely not the best season to buy long-stemmed roses. Buying them a few days before or on Valentine's Day will ensure that you pay a lot more for them. There are discount online stores such as Pro Flowers (see Resources) that allow you to buy them on sale, but buying them during the off-season will still be cheaper than even the sale prices offered during Valentine's Day.

Buy long-stemmed roses from companies such as 1-800-Flowers or FTD (see Resources). They don't have middlemen, and so prices for long-stemmed roses are lower than from privately owned shops. These companies operate in networks with thousands of affiliated florist shops. Compare the prices offered to find the cheap deal.

Local grocery stores such as Foodtown and Shoprite have floral sections where you will definitely find cheap long-stemmed roses.
