Another way to get roses: I understand that many of the local NPR (that's National Public Radio) affiliates are doing a fund drive right now. If you listen to NPR, donate $100 bucks to your participating station and as a membership perk you get a dozen longstem roses sent anywhere. Plus a modest tax deduction if you itemize. Not a screaming hot deal, just a nice way to kill two birds with one stone IF you're a NPR supporter. My local affiliate (WITF) lets you do this on their website or via a toll-free number.
