The flowers from Global Rose were gorgeous! I ordered a package with 100 roses, 35 calla lilies, and 8 bunches of greenery. They came in 2 days before the wedding and after hydrating them over night, we assembled the centerpieces and bouquets the next day. All of the flowers were beautiful and we only had 2 that did not handle the shipping well. I couldn't be happier with the value of the flowers. Even though it was more work, it was well worth all the money we saved by doing it ourselves. My one small issue was they had to substitute some of my greenery (which I understand sometimes has to happen) and it was with something I don't like. There was no email or explanation on the packing slip. We ended up not using it at all. Not that big of a deal...it just would have been nice to choose what they substituted in instead just getting whatever they decided.
It's 5 days after the wedding and a week after receiving them, and almost all of the flowers still look great!

I ordered roses and calla lilies for my wedding about 3 months in advance, because I am a planner, and always nervous about things like this. I didn't want to pay 185 dollars for one bouquet that I knew I could make myself. So I took a chance and was scared I wouldn't have flowers on my wedding day, but saved a ton of money and had a great time putting together my flowers with my mom, aunt and sister. My flowers arrived on Thursday before my Saturday wedding. We hydrated them in big plastic bins, and Friday morning assembled the bouquets, boutineers, corsages and centerpieces. So for 300 dollars we made everything needed for the wedding. The flowers were fresh and beautiful and I ordered extra that we used to add to the ceremony venue. Everything worked out wonderfully. I am happy it did this myself, for the experience and the price!

We used globalrose.com to ordered our flowers and we made all of the centerpieces, corsages, and boutonnieres ourselves. We ordered roses about a month ahead and had them delivered 3 days before and kept them in the basement where it was cooler. The roses tightly packaged in boxes...we had about 600 roses and had several types...Hot pink princess, topaz, and a bi-color rose with hot pink tips...as well as garden roses. The garden roses didnt hold up as well, they were very delicate but they did make it to the wedding and looked beautiful. I was nervous ordering roses online, not having seen the colors but it worked out great for us!!

I ordered flowers for my wedding recently. They were suppose to arrive on Thursday morning(which was guaranteed by global rose) however they didn't arrive until friday (the day of the wedding) so we had to throw together some arrangements super quickly. The company refused to refund any money and gave us a 10% discount which was minimal even though the flowers arrived 24 hours late. They were responsive by phone but refused to discount the flowers even though they arrived so late. DO NOT WORK with Global Rose. There are plenty of other wholesalers. They didn't cooperate and they provided no service even though they screwed up the order.

I ordered 100 Verdi roses (they're bi-color - hot pink and white petals) the Verdi are really pretty. Some of the stems had thorns. I also got roses from Sams and none of the roses from Sams had thorns. Also, I guess they ran out or something because they sent us a bunch of lighter pink and white petals. I'm happier with the flowers I received from Sams but thought Global Rose was okay. I like that they have a wide range of colors.

I recently used globalrose.com for my wedding flowers. I, like most others had the flowers arrive on thursday. The flowers come tightly packed in boxes. I ordered red and white roses and they were absolutely beautiful. I ordered 600 roses in all. Me and my wedding crew made all of the centerpieces, boutineirs, bouqets, etc. It was very simple with a few instructions from the internet. The most complicated thing was the bows for the corsages. FYI i recieved varying instructions, but all in all the flowers need to rehydrate 6-8 hours prior to arranging.
My only issue with globalrose was the lack of sending the tracking number. I was very patience and did not call them untill the day before, thinking if its overnight shipping i should have the tracking number 24hours prior. I was promptly informed that i wouldnt and should get the tracking number until the morning. I got the tracking number a few hours before they were delievered. Since I was ordering all the flowers for the wedding (boquets, corsages, boutiniers, center pieces) I was a little nervous about the arrival of the flowers. Everything worked out fine and when i emailed and called there were prompt responses it just would have been nice to have the tracking number prior to the morning of delivery. I actually selected this vendor based on reviews I read. So thanks everyone! :)

Making your own flower arrangements is extremely easy. The roses from Globalrose were beautiful from the second they came out of the box, and lasted more than a week! I recommend Globalrose to everyone I know who may be in need of flowers for any event they are planning. Great service, great price, GREAT roses!!!!

I ordered 100 red roses to use between tiers of a friend's wedding cake that I was making. It made me a bit nervous that I did not get a tracking number until the morning they were being delivered, but they were delivered with no problems. They were packed tightly and were in good shape. I trimmed the ends and put them in water for a few hours, then removed the rest of the packaging and cut the stems back to the length I needed and removed any outer bruised petals. I placed them in mason jars with the water/plant food mixture until the next day when I arranged them for the cake.
All of the roses were beautiful and I used every single one. Not one rose was damaged. I would definitely use this vendor again.

I bought 100 hot pink roses for a small reception in my hometown and 1000 Freedom red roses from Global Rose for our wedding, and was very happy with both experiences. I had originally ordered Shocking Versilla roses for the first reception and I got a phone call & an email from Global Rose saying that they weren't available, but that they would substitute them with Topaz, another hot pink rose. The Topaz roses were beautiful and the Freedom roses for the wedding were perfect.
The roses for our wedding arrived around 10 AM on the day we had requested, and they had opened perfectly by the time the wedding day arrived, 4 days later. If you're good with handling stress, and are fine with arrangements that aren't elaborate, Global Rose has the best roses prices! Here's a tip though, the size of the rose head is smaller depending on how long the stem is. And the only reason they got a 3.5 for responsiveness is because they did not respond to emails through the email address listed on their site, however, it was easy to reach them by phone and they were helpful with my questions.

I am an independent florist and I use this company all the time. I haven't had a problem yet after 4 orders. The prices can't be beat and I've never had even a damaged flower. Order always seem to arrive between 8 and 9:30 am the day they are supposed to be delivered.

Globalrose was a huge disaster for me. I got married 4th of July weekend on that sunday. They delivered my roses on that Tuesday and sent the wrong ones. I had a receipt that said I ordered RED roses and they sent me hot pink roses instead. They ignored my calls and my florist's calls. Finally I got a hold of them and they asked me if I could just use the pink roses instead. I said absolutely not because my wedding is Red and Cream. So they made me send them pictures of the roses and then said they would send the correct ones out on Thursday. So on Thursday they send the roses and they are red, however they are brown, wilted and half dead! I had to run around that evening and try to find 10 dozen red roses from somewhere else. Globalrose ignored my calls and emails once again, they finally called me back the day before my wedding and said they can't do anything nor would they refund my money. I threatened them by saying i would report them to the better business bureau and then about 2 weeks later they refunded half of my money. I am still pissed with them. AND WOULD DEFINATELY NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an online flower wholesaler. I ordered 200 roses from them, they were BEAUTIFUL! They were delivered to my house two days before the wedding in the morning, via FedEx, I was very impressed at the quality of the flowers for the price that I paid. They were the most affordable wholesaler I could find on the web for roses. I made all of the bouquets and centerpieces for our wedding and everything turned out beautifully! Definitely recommend!

Flowers arrived beautifully and on time. The choice of flower colors were visually appealing.
