lol... I'm a 26 year old guy, but I will answer this question.

My mom was in the hospital from April - July of last year. It was a really hard time for us, with all the sitting and me going back and forth the hour drive between the hospital and my full time job.

Gas was also around $4.00/gal at this time... so I was really short on cash. So, when I wanted to take my mother something when I went to visit... I got a little creative.

Some of my grandmother's plants still grow in our yard, she passed away last March.... She loved Azaleas and roses. So, since we had the red rose bushes growing in our yard and the White Azalea bushes ... both blooming at that time of the year.. April, June... I would always get a small jar or vase or anything and take my mother a few Red Roses surrounded by White Azaleas. She always loved them and they really are pretty together. I still have a couple of pictures of them in combination if you'd like to see.

However, I don't know anything about the cost of these two flowers... I always made sure to keep the bushes pruned and the flowers coming over the summer... so I had a constant supply.

Hope I've helped you in some way.

Congrats on the wedding.
