What color are the roses?
Red and lollipop. The lollipop bouquet is a dozen roses of various colors. There are 6 to 8 different colors in each lollipop bouquet. They come with directions for care and preservative.
We also have a fall bouquet available that contains a variety of flowers. It’s ideal for those who are looking for a variety or for another flower option.
What is the price per dozen for Roses?
The price for roses is $15 per dozen. The Fall Bouquet is being sold this year for $20.
Why do the roses cost so little?
They are top quality, long-stemmed roses grown in South America . They bloom now and must be cut so they will bloom again for the holidays. If they are not sold, they go to waste. Since there is not a great demand for roses this time of year, we get a great price. The fall bouquet is an alternative to the roses.
How will the roses be packaged?
They will be wrapped one dozen per package or in the case of the fall bouquet, one bouquet per package.
What will the money from the rose sales be used for?
The proceeds from the Rotary Rose Sale support community activities, youth projects, scholorships, and international exchange, including:
- Le Sueur Public Library
- YO! (Youth Opportunities)
- Youth Leadership Training
- World Community Service
- HAVE
- Habitat for Humanity

Is $15 per dozen a good deal?

Is this our only fundraiser?
