We believe the old way of doing things was in desperate need of an overhaul. The distribution system we have pioneered makes roses accessible, affordable, and easy to get hold of throughout the year–without all that extra cash. The key is direct shipping–the same revolutionary practice that has made giants out of retailers such as Amazon and Half.com. Of course, when you design such a system for red roses, some necessary safeguards must be put in place.

Our quality control department is made up of people who understand roses and their needs better than most florists. This is a responsible business, founded on principles of integrity and high-quality products, and that means every rose that reaches your doorstep undergoes the same inspection you would expect from your local seller. It also means we will never tolerate markups or other unjust fares levied against consumers who are looking for a truly wholesale price.

48LongStems.com is committed to bringing you unprecedented savings on some of the most beautiful red roses that reach our shores. Because nearly all of the growers are in South America, it is possible to save a lot of money when you work directly with the farmers who produce these dazzling blooms. Feel free to look around the site and be sure to check our testimonials page for a closer look at the kind of customer service that has won us raves from coast to coast.

Nothing says love, appreciation and condolence quite like long stem roses. Perhaps that’s why these beautiful blooms have been associated with all manner of emotional gestures for hundreds of years. The truth is that flowers tend to come in a number of shapes and sizes, but no variety has ever maintained such a long and storied hold on our national imagination as the rose.

At 48LongStems.com, we have long believed that the price structure for distributing these flowers serves countless middlemen, but tends to forget the recipient. That is why we developed a revolutionary approach to selling roses: cut out the middleman entirely. Our business plan is predicated on the simple idea that the Web can bring wholesalers together with regular people easily, conveniently, and without any loss of quality.

It is a little-known fact that the vast majority of roses sold in this country pass through countless hands on their way to your florist.  We have pioneered an approach that allows you to order directly from the farm, saving as much as half the initial cost. Our suppliers are generally overseas, where the rates they command for these blooms are generally lower than you will find here in the States, making it easy to create significant discounts online.

We invite you to stay awhile and discover the many stunning bouquets we make available every day. Ours is a business founded on principles of honesty and community involvement, and we take pride in offering quality goods without any hidden costs. If you are looking for a beautiful way to say “I love you” with long stem roses, you may have found the last site you’ll ever need.
