Trying to find roses late may be futile and costly

February 14, 2000 By admin

Procrastinators may be stuck with thorns if they wait until the drive home tonight to find a bouquet of Valentine’s Day flowers. Lori Polle of Plaza Florist in Des Moines got to work early this morning to start packaging roses for delivery.She says there may be a few buds for you last-minute shoppers late this afternoon, but it’ll be “slim pickings.” She says there are always lots of Valentine’s Day — or Valentine’s late-in-the-Day — procrastinators.For those who decide any flower named anything but a rose wouldn’t smell as sweet, you’ll have to pay sweetly for a dozen. She says twelve long-stemmed reds will cost $69.95, while supplies last.
