Recommended Posts

I am looking to buy nice 50 roses ,but don't want to spent fortune,as if it's from a regular shop that would be over ?100.Where can I buy from wholesale and is 50 considered,I assume not every florist buys big amount as flowers are perishable.Also if you suggest a place-do you know what time I need to be there and what would be the prices in comparison to the normal shops.Many thanks

[www.newcoventgardenmarket.com] seconded. They have no prices on display so you'll need to negotiate to get the best deals, suggest taking a whizz around the stalls at NCG FM, selecting the whole saller you want to deal with and don't be afraid to negotiate hard.

I really like the florist on L Lane up by Barcelona Tapas, at Dulwich Common. It always strikes me as a really good local business to support and the plants I buy there, while not the cheapest, tend to be really good quality (and the guy there is really nice & helpful) Who knows, they might be happy to do a deal. 02086933332.

New covent Garden for sure. Worth getting up early for (go before 7am, the earlier the better). Maybe do couple of research trips to local florists to find out what varieties you'd like as just asking for 'pink' or 'white' will make you look like you dont know what you're doing. Ask around and don't forget to add the VAT!


I don't rate columbia road. Old tatty flowers at bad prices, but yes, cheaper than a florist although I've never met a proper florist who would buy from there. One for the hipsters only. Great for plants though.


I am a florist, by the way.

    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
    • Can bet the Co Op is nearing its exit soon. At those prices you might as well buy at waitrose!
