Long stemmed roses are a symbol of wealth. The rose naturally blossoms on a stem about 6" long naturally. The beauty of the rose is accentuated by the length of a longer stem based on the pedestal principle. So the rose is forced to grow fewer roses by cultivation, putting more nutrient into the one rose rather than many. The side branches of the original stem are pruned away resulting in a very long stem.

A long stemmed rose can be displayed in a taller vase, as tall as 24" and still be spectacular. The long stemmed rose usually has a larger bud which results in a larger bloom. There are roses which will have a 3" long bud so obviously it is heavily cultivated and more expensive to grow. This is the reason for the wide variance in price. Miniature roses do not have the visual impact as the showy long stem variety.

So it's not the rose itself, it's the money spent on the arrangement.

A Rose is one of the most romantic gifts you can give to a girl, but why? First of all, the Rose has been given a symbolic meaning to romance through poems, songs and many other influences over hundreds of years, and this has always been accepted and applied in nowadays society. Secondly, girls love flowers, especially flowers as pretty as a Rose. Before you send any Roses, make sure to read all about the meaning of different colors and numbers!

Long stem roses cost more because they're harder to grow. They require more pruning and you get less of them off of a rose bush.

It is about price and gift basket?

You can purchase roses for around $40 and chocolates at most "gift" sites for around $30, but I believe the most unique is at www.metrocandy.com. This site allows you to purchase 36 chocolate roses for $82.80. I think this is great price as you get more chocolate and roses for just a little bit more cost.
