I thought they looked quite nice, but we don't buy dead flowers. If I can find anywhere that sells potted plants in Southampton, I shall purchase a nice one, but roses are a terrible cliché. Besides, there are much nicer flowers.

That's really up to the person you're buying for. If he/she loves roses, then you buy them roses, despite your preconceptions

I'd show her this thread then give her 500 quid to go spend on herself

Sainsburys in Shirley had potted Valentine's plants along with cut flowers I think. I wasn't paying a great deal of attention as I was in a rush to go grab something but i'm fairly sure they had some.

Loads of places sell potted plants though, the Range on Winchester Road does, Homebase near Dock Gate 20 etc.

I don't think they look that nice really, not to mention the cost. I like roses but i like bunches of flowers that have more than one type of flower in them, it just looks nicer. Right now if i had someone who wanted to spend £500 on my it would go on the mot bill i've just had that has wiped out any spare money i'll have (paying parents back thankfully otherwise not a chance of affording it) for the next few months. The left over money maybe a small bunch of flowers and charity.
Jasper no need for that attitude really.

Sorry, it's apparently lack of sense of humour day as well. And Blackstar, mind your own - wasn't even talking to/about you in case you didn't notice. How's that for attitude

If someone likes roses you buy them roses regardless if it's obvious or not
