Why Choose Us?

When you buy from 2G ROSES you are buying directly from the grower. We have been growing and selling flowers for 40 years. Most of the other vendors you will see are sales companies just moving a commodity. They buy offshore and never even see the flowers. We either grow, or buy from other local growers and pick up the flowers ourselves, in our own vehicles. 

We were selected for The Knots Best of in 2008, 2009 and 2010. WeddingWire awarded us a Bride Choice Award for 2010 and 2011. Over the years we have been recommended by the Wall Street Journal as best value, Money.com as the best source for roses, Real Simple Magazine rated us an "A" and we are also featured in numerous bridal publications including "Bridal Bargains."

By shipping directly to you via FedEx we are able to cut out all the middlemen and pass the freshness and the savings on to you. Normally the flowers are cut and shipped within 24 hours for maximum freshness.

Environmentally Friendly

Lately everyone claims to be green however 2G Roses has been environmentally conscious long before it was trendy. These are our primary methods of protecting the environment.

1
We use a method of pest control called Integrated Pest Management (IPM) which we feel is great for our health as well as that of our planet. Each day we look at our plants and identify problems while they are small and react with the softest method possible. For example we release 'good bugs' that eat 'bad bugs.' No chemicals involved at all. Dont worry, the good bugs like to hang out deep in the plants lush canopy, not on the parts we sell! When we do use a chemical, we do not want to harm our 'good bugs' so we use chemicals that affect only the target pest. We prefer OMRI certified products which are approved for use on organic crops. My personal favorite is a rosemary oil. This differs from broad spectrum pesticides which basically kill everything. Unfortunately many imported flowers use pesticides that are banned in the US as known carcinogens and as having very negative impacts on our planet. Please consider this when you choose via your purchase which approach you endorse.


Privacy and Security

To put it bluntly, I personally hate opening my mailbox (both email and postal)and going through piles and piles of junk mail. I dislike being called at home for things I am not interested in. Because of this, 2G Roses will NEVER provide your information to any company that doesn't require it. All the information gathered is for the credit card processing center and for FedEx to get the flowers to the right place. We have been in business for 40 years and on the web since 1995. To date we have sent out ZERO (zip, none, nada) solicitations. We have been asked by numerous customers to start reminding them about major holiday periods, or exceptional seasonal sales, but to date we have not done so. My personal guarantee is that even if we start sending a few emails, it will never be more than 1 or 2 a month and you can always opt out. If there are any further concerns please feel free to email me at eugene@freshroses.com

Why Is the Secure Server Not Freshroses.com but Cruzio.com? The simple answer is that we are flower growers not network specialists. We feel that the credit card information of our customers is critical to protect so researched and chose to go with Cruzio, as they are network specialists. They keep an eye on the highest encryption secure server systems and constantly monitor and upgrade the network to make sure that everything is secure. Similar to 2G Roses, they are not the biggest company in the business but their commitment to principles of excellence is a pleasant surprise in todays world of MEGA hosting companies. If you have security concerns please feel free to Email help@freshroses.com

I've been ordering 2G Roses for over 10 (yes, TEN!) years now - ever since you were first recommended to me while I was planning my wedding. Any time I need flowers, for all those special occasions in life, I have only to click on my 2G Roses bookmark. The flowers always arrive on time, and are more gorgeous, more fragrant, and longer lasting than any other flowers I've ever seen, and they ALWAYS get the compliments from everyone who sees them. I don't know how you create these miracle flowers, but they're obviously grown with love. I look forward to buying more of your flowers in the many decades yet to come! Cynthia W

I was so impressed with your customer service and would recommend you to anyone and everyone. i just wanted to say thank you b/c this was the first business I dealt with when I planned my wedding that was kind and helpful and not out to take advantage of me and overcharge. When my mom and I received the test bunch, we were so impressed b/c they seemed to be more and more beautiful as time went on. And your instructions of how to do the wedding flowers was so helpful, I never realized it was so easy until I did it myself. Thank you so much!!! Amy B

  • I owned a flower shop many years ago and forgot a few aspects of flower design. I needed and received professional assistance with flower selection, color, etc. I want to thank Arlene and Lindy for ALL their help -- and patience! Although I do not know their names, I want to thank the persons in the shipping department. Everything was professionally packaged and was received in great shape. Most important, the order was 100% CORRECT. All the professional help would be wasted if the shipping department made errors. I was surprised to find the stephanotis inserts. These floral tools were VERY helpful, labor- and time-saving, and greatly increased my confidence. I completely and without hesitation recommend your service. Thank you. Bruce H
  • I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how BEAUTIFUL the flowers were! I got so many compliments on my arrangements for my friend's wedding, and I told everyone that I couldn't really take the credit -- I could have thrown those flowers in a coffee can and they still would have looked great. I wish I could send pictures of the arrangements! Thanks again for the bautiful flowers and great customer service, too! I will recommend you to everyone I know who needs flowers for an occasion (or no reason at all!) Beth G
  • Its been 7 years since my wedding and I'm still recommending your company to every bride I come into contact with! I still remember receiving all my roses in pristine condition and on time! I received tons of compliments on my flowers and I was so proud to tell them I had done them myself! To me, there was no better way than to make the day even more special by creating my own flowers! I had no experience with flower arranging, but it was easier than I thought and we had fun putting them together! These memories have lasted me the past 7 years and I'm sure with stay with me for the rest of my life. Thank you! Valerie M

  • Thank you so much for all of your help with my order and for the beautiful flowers that we received. (All the flowers were lovely, but the roses were the prettiest roses I've ever seen.) The centerpieces turned out beautifully and more than one person - including the caterer! - asked who had done the flowers. All were very impressed. Your customer service and product are exceptional. Your prices reasonable. I will certainly use you again. Thank you for helping to make a special day memorable for all the right reasons. Susan
  • I used your company for my wedding flowers. I had more compliments on the beautiful roses than you can imagine! The flowers arrived perfectly as you said they would, they opened beautifully, we had a blast arranging them and they looked gorgeous on the day of the wedding! I've now been asked to do flowers for two more upcoming weddings which is what brings me back to your site. (The updates to your site look awesome! Kudos!) So I just wanted to offer a belated thank you for helping make our wedding so wonderful, and let you know that you get a five star recommendation from me to anyone looking for great wedding flowers at a fantastic price. :o) Looking forward to my next order! ~Leigh Ann

  • I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful flowers delivered for my daughter's recent wedding. They arrived exactly on time and as specified. The flowers were in wonderful condition and made beautiful bouquets for my daughter and her attendant. Everyone commented on the beautiful arrangements. This is the second time that we have used flowers from your site for a family member's wedding, and both times we found 2G to be extremely reliable and accessible. Unlike other sites we have used, we have never had any problems with 2G, nor have we been disappointed in the quality or color of the flowers ordered. Thank you again for your wonderful customer service. Sincerely, Leslie L
  • I am "practicing" for starting a business in floral design when I retire from my real job in a couple of years and have been studying in my spare time. This was a great experience and thanks so much! Rebecca B
  • 2 years ago you provided the flowers for my wedding. They were beautiful, the event was beautiful and my experience with you was AWESOME. Lisa L
  • I ordered some Black Magics for my graduation party to see how they were going to be for my upcoming wedding. They were so pretty that people thought they were fake or made of velvet. They were shocked to hear how inexpensive they were and that I ordered them online and from across the country. Five days later, they still look great. They all opened really well too. I will definitely be ordering a lot for my wedding. It's very true that they're so beautiful, you don't have to do much more to them. It will save me a lot of money, plus it's fun. Thanks! Natalie S
  • Thank you! My family has been ordering flowers from you for 4 years (three different weddings, showers, etc.) We have loved everything we've gotten. Thanks again! Brandi H
  • The flowers arrived promptly and they looked absolutely beautiful for the wedding on Saturday! Thank you so much for your careful attention to my order. I'm recommending you to some people I know and will certainly look to you first for my future flower needs. Rebecca S
  • my wife and I made her bouquet out of Anna & Bridal White roses, as well as Stephanotis. Out of curiosity I asked one florists how much one of those bouquets, of a similar size as hers, would cost, and it was more than our entire wedding floral order!!! You guys are getting recommended to ANYONE who is getting married and wants their floral arrangements bouquets to look fantastic, but not cost $2000+. Thanks, -Robert
  • THANK YOU! This is the third time I have done a friend's wedding through you. Your flowers are GREAT and so are the prices! Dana D
  • I received the flowers for my wedding and was amazed at how beautiful they were. Everything was gorgeous, exactly what I wanted!!! I followed your directions to make corsages and boutionerres and hand tied the bouquets. I think the flowers turned out better than if a professional florist had arranged them, and they certainly stayed fresher longer. Lanie G
  • My daughter used your company for her wedding and it worked out beautifully. Maureen B.
  • I decided I needed to let you know how pleased I was with my recent purchase from your company. I ordered 60 gardenias for my son's wedding reception and they were perfect! When the guests were allowed into the reception area, they were met with the most wonderful scent of gardenias. Your staff talked to me several times by phone to be sure that the order went smoothly and there were no glitches. The gardenias arrived on time and each flower was beautiful. Thanks again and I have recommended you to several of my friends who are planning weddings. I look forward to doing business with you again. Joan S

Politics

I often run into people who say, "You work with flowers? What a stress free job!" If they only knew! All industries have their issues but flower growers have to tackle many of the hot topics of the day. These are some of the hottest.

Ecuadorian Roses and Pesticides
Ironically as US citizens become more conscious of environmental issues, the majority of flowers entering the United States are coming from countries with no holds barred environmental laws. Recent reports show Ecuadorian roses entering the US with pesticide residues of chemicals banned in the US. Also reports of pesticide poisoning of the employees is unsettling with up to 60% of the employees showing signs of pesticide poisoning. Chemicals banned long ago in the US as deadly are still being used in foreign fields, and reintroduced to your nose via imported flowers. Remember that your vote on this issue is with your flower purchase dollar. Spend it on imports, and they will grow.
