The long stemmed rose became preferred in the 1880's when the new roses from China were crossbred with European roses. This led to the modern rose which can bloom more than once in a year, and is hardier than the European rose. The downside of the long stemmed rose is that it has less fragrance than the Old Rose. There is a movement underway to preserve the Old Roses from extinction.

Are long stemmed roses better?
Most roses available today in stores are "long stemmed" roses. Essentially, to answer your question I would need to know the answer to this: "are they better for what?". If you plan to make an arrangement, and cut the stems down, then no, long stemmed roses are not necessary. If however you have a long-necked elegant vase to put your cut roses in then you are definitely looking for long stemmed roses. Most varieties sold in stores have been genetically modified so that they stand better over time in water. Longer does not necessarily mean better- just more expensive.
How much are roses for a wedding?
The price of roses can rise in cost during off season when the roses are shipped in or specially grown in a greenhouse.

What kind of flowers do you give after a theatre performance?
* Generally it's red roses (but times have changed so any color of roses are acceptable.) Tip: To save money (if you have too) don't buy long stemmed roses as you are paying for the extra length of the stem. You can buy roses with a sufficient length of stem much cheaper. Be sure to have the florist take the thorns off if they are not taken off when you purchase them.
Can long stemmed roses continue to grow new stems after they have been cut and placed in water?
How interesting, I was just thinking about this, this morning. Some plants can continue to grow after they have been cut (Philodendron), but not roses. They are essentially in shock and even with proper nutririon they will not continue to grow. If you are (or have) experienced this with roses, please let us know as you have found something that defies the natural world.
What does it mean to have eleven long stem roses?
The traditional message of a bouquet of long stemmed roses is, "I will remember you always." They can also be used to communicate to someone, "I still love you." And of course, a bouquet of long stemmed red roses is the ultimate expression of true love. They can represent a love that runs deep and is long-lasting. The number 11 actually means nothing. Either the florist shorted you a rose or added a rose unless the 11th rose was a different color than the rest of the bouquet. 10 roses mean perfection, and 12 roses mean "be mine". A single rose means love at first sight or "I still love you" unless of course the color is something other than red ex: yellow means friendship.
