Did you know that, besides a vast range of high-end standard, specialty, and spray roses, United Selections is breeding a fine assortment for retailers worldwide? Since the focus is mainly on the top-level roses, it is now time to give the retail assortment the floor for a showdown.
Retail Roses
So, what are we talking about here? Isn't any florist a retailer? Basically, yes. However, when we speak about flowers for the retail segment, people generally mean a level below florists and floral designers: the supermarkets, garden centers, gas stations, and all other places where flowers are not the core product, but a commodity that is mass-produced. Mostly, retail flowers are ready bouquets.
Retail Quality
Don't undervalue the quality of retail these days! It may sound cheap to buy your flowers in a supermarket, but these channels have been focusing more on freshness, quality, and eye-catching bouquets over the past five to ten years.
Unlike the every-single-one-is-unique florist bouquets, retail bouquets are still very much impulse purchases, so they must meet more and more the demands of consumers too. And often even more than florists, supermarkets are committed to sustainability labels that require a check upon the origin of their flowers as well as their carbon footprint. And a short production span is also quite important for the year-round demand of the retail sector.
In short: retail flowers have been gaining ground when it comes to high standards, and breeders and growers have to offer the right assortment for this.
