I ordered a rose for a golden wedding anniversary gift. It arrived well packaged and nicely wrapped with a bow around the pot.
The plant looked healthy, with dark green leaves and no hint of any damage. It had been well pruned into a pleasant shape and was neat and looked pretty.
It was late in the season (October) but arrived with one flower and 2 buds which opened within a week, so that it had nice flowers when it was given as a gift.
It also came with a free card. However the card had no envelope which is a shame, so I had to use one that I happened to have which didn't really fit. Also it would be nice if the plant came with a card holder, so that you can write a message to the people you are giving it to and secure it to the rose ( I ended up taping the card to the pot, which wasn't the most attractive option). Since this is sold as a gift, it would make sense to provide this by default. These are my only faults with this gift, for which I've marked down to 4 stars. The rose itself was perfect.
