Roses and Bouquets Help Deliver Robust Gains for Floral During the Summer
Inflation hand-in-hand with demand growth led to robust gains in dollars and units for the weeks between mid-July and mid-August. Roses took the lead, closely followed by bouquets. Favorable weather also resulted in continued growth for outdoor plants.

Bouquets and Roses Account for Majority of Summer Sales
“For the first time in many months, we saw roses overtake bouquets as the top floral category in dollars,” said Colleen Fagundus, IFPA’s Director of Floral. “Generating $121 million between mid-July and mid-August, roses delivered double-digit dollar gains, though inflation played a role. Bouquets had the higher unit gains, at +4.2%. Consumer bunch and arrangements also did well in late summer.”
The sales of outdoor plants is very weather dependent. The favorable summer weather resulted in $34 million in outdoor plant sales, up nearly 11% year-over-year.
