Roses are red and violets are blue but buying roses for Valentine's Day is going to cost you some green. Here is a list of your local florists and their prices:

Floral Elegance will happily deliver a dozen, long stem, red roses to the home of your beloved, arranged in a vase for $89.99. Delivery is extra, but if you pick them up and hand deliver the final tally is $89.99 plus tax. A single rose with filler and greenery wrapped is also an option for $9.95. If red is not your choice of color, fear not, a variety of colors is available.

Sweetbriar Florist will send your loved one a dozen, long-stemmed red roses arranged in a vase for between $60 and $65. For $6 more they can arrive on the doorstep of a Grafton home. Sweetbriar also offers a multitude of colors but, sorry, no singles will be sold.

Multiroses.com, for the Internet savvy, will send along a dozen, long-stemmed, red roses arranged in a vase for $84.99. Feel like adding a bear? That will bring the total up to $94.99 before tax and shipping charges are added.

JustFlowers.com also serves Grafton and will send a dozen, long-stemmed red roses arranged in a vase to any address for $79.99 plus tax and shipping.

Did you forget it was Valentine's Day? Fear not, Stop & Shop in North Grafton will package up a dozen, long-stemmed red roses for you for $29.99. No vase will be included but greens and wrapping is part of the deal. You can also pick up a multitude of colored roses. A single rose will run you $3.99 without greens and baby's breath or $5.99 with greens and baby's breath.

So there is no excuse to make this a sweet holiday for your loved one.
