"Speaking Roses are the most innovative thing to come along in the floral business in 30 years. We opened our store in a small rural town that already had ten existing florists. If it had not been for the Speaking Roses, it would have been nearly impossible to succeed in that environment. But, by offering the Speaking Roses, it gives us an advantage that the other flower shops can't compete with. And its pretty awesome to see the expressions on people's faces the first time they see one of the roses. You take a flower into a prospective clients office and it sells itself."
