  I haven't tried them in a long time, but Sydney Flower markets?

  Expect super inflated prices, from memory, a dozen long stemmed roses would cost around $35-$50 during non-peak periods. I'm not too sure what the price would be for v-day though.

  I get them from my neighbours garden. 1 dozen roses free.

  Find some girl who's been given some and buy them for half price?

  Or buy them the night before…. Surprisingly prices just double for that one day of the year…

  FYI, depending on where u live, when I used to live near Glenfield, on the way out past Holsworthy's barracks there's always a farmer? with his truck on the side of the road selling fresh roses on V day for a bargain every year….it's not as nicely wrapped as the florists but with the money you save you can almost buy an industrial-sized roll of cellophane and wrap it yourself :) and your girl will love the fact that you've put "some effort" into wrapping it too :)

  Let's hope your girlfriend isn't a fellow Ozbargainer and finds this post about "cheap" roses ;o)

  Thanks all for the suggestions, Shout It Out might have a point.. I think this post will strangely just disappear in a few days.

  I think from now on I will start growing my own in a secret spot in the backyard
