text: I picked First Rose because I knew I wanted roses. Some of the reviews suggest that the vendor is less receptive to other flowers. My advice would be, if roses aren't your thing, go elsewhere! This vendor has contracts with rose farms and can give you a deal on roses. I chose a dark red rose bouquets to go with my cranberry and navy theme. One downside is that she does not keep roses of each color in stock (some are seasonal) so it is hard to tell what the color will truly look like. This was not a big issue for me as I only went with 1 type of flower. I designed my colors for the tables, etc. around the uncertainty of an exact match and it worked fine. Other reviews suggest that the owner is flaky. Yes, she writes your order down on a page of paper and will cross things out as she goes. However, whenever I called or came in, she was always able to immediately fine my paperwork. Yes, she takes cash. While I was uncertain about a receipt, I never felt like she would forget my order. It is a risk I was willing to take. I loved my flowers. I would recommend ordering some extra bulk roses. They are inexpensive, and you never know when you will need them! I appreciate that Andrea never pushed me to order anything, she even helped to assure me not to spend more money then I needed to!
