Rosita Flowers

I would strongly recommend NOT ordering the $69 ‘Florist’s Choice’ flowers from this florist. I fully accept that ‘Florist’s Choice’ means exactly that. The florist chooses the specific flowers. But their website also clearly states that ‘the bouquet we send you will be appropriate to the season and OCCASION’. My daughter turned 21 yesterday, and when this bouquet arrived it was not at all appropriate to the occasion. With the exception of two flowers, the colours in the bouquet (including the dull greenery….and a complete lack of baby’s breath) were so sombre and dull that it looked more like flowers you would send for a bereavement, not a young woman’s 21st. Given so many other flowers are also currently in season, and given that the writing on my card clearly stated that the occasion was a young woman’s 21st Birthday, I’m not sure why the ‘Florist’s Choice’ was to send her such a dull and sombre bouquet. Instead of being happy and surprised, my daughter just looked quietly disappointed. Although she tried to hide it, I could clearly see it had negatively impacted her previously happy mood. After a couple of hours of silently trying to make peace with it myself, I just couldn’t. When I finally told my daughter I was going to try to ‘fix it’, she reluctantly admitted that she didn’t like the flowers at all but she didn’t want to say anything because she didn’t want to disappoint ME. I then went out and paid $60 for an additional bunch of flowers from a different florist and came home and took the two brighter flowers out of the original bouquet and arranged them into the new bouquet. I then threw the rest of my $69 Rosita bouquet in the bin (only 3 hours after they were delivered). I would not recommend Rosita.
