Hear! Hear! I worked for a florist in Astoria and we always purchased from Peterkort and they have great roses. They carry the only red rose I really like – Tamango!
Mmm! Gorgeous! Second the motion-can't wait to see what you created with them!
I want to see what you made with these lovelies!
I love this post! In my experience, there are so many disappointing flower shipments that you want to shout it out when you find a wholesaler/grower who sends quality flowers on time with a kind attitude! Why do so many wholesalers cram "crap flowers" in a box and send it to you like you will not notice? Do they think designers are idiots? Or that they don't care about the quality of flowers they sell to their customers? Or that they are too busy to mess with calling and sending them back? Surely they recognize the poor quality before they pack the flowers…I sure hope they are able to recognize poor quality when they see it! So they feel ok about sending out junk? Wow, Erin, you brought out a little rant! Anyway, thanks for tooting the Peterkort Roses horn! Judging by the pictures, their roses are clearly top quality and gorgeous!
Having ordered well in advance 1200 red roses from our favorite green farm, we ended up returning all of them and having to take a rose with a fewer petals and a tall but wobbly stem.
Huge disappointment.
Haven't heard any complaints from customers yet, don't know why.
I think your love letters to your growers keep them happy to oblige.
