Leonidas Roses - how & where to buy

If you can, always buy your leonidas roses from a cut flower wholesaler. Leonidas roses are not grown in great quantities these days so your flower wholesaler will be able to advise on their availability accurately because he is closer to the market than the high street. If your leonidas roses are for a wedding, it is very important that this availability information is correct. The other benefit of buying leonidas roses wholesale is that you will save quite a bit of money - very important when working to a budget!

Before speaking to your wholesaler about leonidas roses it is always best to work out how many stems are required and what other flowers and foliage are needed to compliment them. Also, it is worth remembering that all cut flower wholesalers quote prices excluding VAT, so always double check!

Like any other rose, leonidas are sold in wholesale wraps of 20 stems. They are usually on available in stem lengths of approx 60cm.  Leonidas roses are bought and sold at auction - as a result prices change every day due to supply and demand. Leonidas roses are usually quite pricey because they are not a mainstream rose and are grown in smaller quantities. Approximately 50% of leonidas roses are grown under glass in Holland and 50% imported into the flower auctions from Ecuador. (Always give your flower wholesaler a few days notice to buy your leonidas roses in case they have to be imported).
