Doing work so our users don’t have to, we called 143 florists from around the country and found out how much it would cost for a dozen roses on Valentine’s Day.

Prices varied wildly by city. Philadelphians can get a dozen roses for about $50, whereas New Yorkers pay nearly $100. BTW, a round trip bus ticket between the two cities is just $20 and takes about 2 hrs. The average price from national florist websites is $65.

Next time we’ll hopefully include delivery fees.
