5 Stars on Value: I can't remember how much I paid for these (as I'm doing the review ~2 months later). But, I sent these to my mother for Mother's day. She reported that each of the roses appeared in good shape and that she preferred not getting the vase. Over the years of sending her flowers via a florist...she has accumulated more than a few--and didn't need any more! But, its one thing to think about--if you're sending these to a college student--they may end up in a bar glass, since they don' t come with a vase of their own.
5 Stars on Appearance: I've only seen pictures--but they look fantastic! My mother also stated that they were some of the best roses she had received from me. Deep red, no brown tips, but I don't believe that they came with any decorative filler (just to keep in mind).
5 Stars on Delivery Freshness: I was worried about shipping these, but they came through with shining colors (literally). They seemed healthy, red, not too open, and not dry. This was an exceptional feat considering that Fedex sometimes only drops packages off at our mail box (1 mile away). But, they delivered them directly to the door within 2 days of ordering them! I would suggest being around on the day of delivery though--I'm not sure how they would have held up if they had sat on the door step for the afternoon!
5 Stars Overall: I told my mother, and my sister that they should expect these in varying colors for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day from now on! And they are happy about it--since the deal is so good!
