Global Petals | Most Unique Roses in the Country
This is a special one. While it’s not a “deal” it is a secret find that not many people know about. Global Petals is a boutique rose importer that specializes in the highest-end and most unique roses. We know about them because of a special connection we have and events we’ve been to.
If you check out their rose gallery, you’ll see some of their roses don’t even look like roses. The catch? They only sell to floral designers, so if you’re a florist, check them out. If you don’t own a floral business, head into your local shop and tell them you’d be interested in buying a bouquet if they have Global Petals roses. You won’t regret it!

Valentine Wreaths | $79-$90

You can make your own, get them low cost form Walmart, or go to a boutique that specializes in them like Creekside Farms or Hydrangea Bloom. While they’re not local to Atlanta, shipping is usually available if requested.
