Which is more cost effective in March - Garden roses or peonies?

Peonies are in may/June typically

I believe garden roses will always be more cost effective than peonies, that's quite a sought after expensive flower...but it should be in season then, or so I believe, so definitely worth looking into to see if fits much more expensive or not.

Im getting married in march too

View Quoted Comment Thank you! Florists seem to be mixed if peonies are in season or not - but they’ve all said they can get them from overseas (which sounds like $ to me).
I’m also thinking I could do peonies/ Garden roses for bouquets and then hydrangeas for centerpieces to bring down costs...

View Quoted Comment Fun!! I thought I was so smart and got discounts from vendors for doing “off peak” and now I’m realizing flowers are a litttttle more expensive then. Oh well!

View Quoted Comment Yes. If you want a flower at any time of year it can be found somewhere for you!

Peonies are usually a lot more expensive than roses. They are only in season a very short time at the end of May/June. But florists can get them from other countries. My florist got peonies for my wedding in December but they came from another country.

Garden roses are usually always cheaper than peonies. I wanted peonies for my centerpieces until I realized how expensive they are. Definitely going the garden rose and hydrangea route!

Thank you earias and SB!! I know what I have to do now!

We're doing roses for our wedding in March of 2020 and it was the most cost effective.

If you still want peonies, you could always order them in bulk and then make your own bouquets to save some money!

Okay, not sure if anyone cares, but, according to the florist I've decided to go with, peonies and garden roses are actually about the same cost. BUT there are roses bred to look like peonies or garden roses that are about half the price. The florist said the only people that would know the difference are florists, and well, first I don't care and second, I don't know any florists or I wouldn't be using her. Haha. Thanks for the help everyone!

Garden roses are more cost effective and they are beautiful
