WPTV: Valentine's Day Flower Prices Are At An All-Time High

This Valentine's Day could end up costing you more than ever before, as supply chain issues drive up the price of flowers.

The phones have been ringing nonstop at florists all week, but many romantics this year are getting a case of sticker shock when they find out the price of roses.

"Prices are a little higher. People are having trouble getting employees, getting people to work, like every other business. So, the prices are going to be a little higher," says floral manager Jackie Chesher.

A dozen long stemmed red roses arranged in a vase, now up to $99 in many florists. Even in the grocery store they can be $50 to $70.
