Red Rose Has Popularity
The red rose is the most popular flower in Lawrence, with the carnation running a close second on the best-seller list.
Dwight Regnier. Regnier's Flower Box, says, "Lawrence is known as a 'rose town' because of KU."
Homer D. Allison, Allison-Thomas Flower Shop, said, "Boys are our biggest buyers and red roses are probably our best sellers."
Jim Owens, Owens Flower Shop,
said, "Red roses are popular, but
roses don't last too well. Most
florists don't grow roses around
here. They are grown mostly by
people who specialize in them and
have two or three acres of plants."
Cut flowers and plants are the best-sellers and are usually sold by seasons and occasions. Some of the favorites include Easter lilies, poinsettias, chrysanthemums, azaleas, cyclamen and hydrangeas.
"Flowers are usually sold by the dozen and range in price from $1.25-$5.00." said Mr. Owens.
Spring favorites include jonquils, tulips, snapdragons, stock, sweet peas, iris, and daisies.
Spring shrubs and flowering trees grown in this area are redbud, magnolia, lilacs, forsythia, privet and honey suckle bush. Evergreens
