Buying Roses in Missouri Could Cost You More Than Expected

I would argue that the two scariest days of the year in 2026 are back-to-back and they're coming up imminently. Friday the 13th and Valentine's Day are next and if you plan to buy roses to celebrate, you better prepare to pay up big time if you're a lover in Missouri.

Don't blame me for this one. Blame Finance Buzz. They just broke down the average cost of a dozen roses in each state and the amount of money required for Missouri men in trouble love is staggering. Just look at their map and you'll see that Missouri has one of the highest costs for a dozen roses in America.

Hold on a second. I heard a few days ago that women in Missouri don't want flowers. Am I right? That's what I'm going to tell myself since the average cost for a dozen roses in Missouri is a jaw-dropping $96.33. Ouch. Would you accept a briefcase full of IOU's instead? I'm truly surprised that Illinois of all places has an average dozen roses cost that's almost $13 cheaper than Missouri. Did they not remember to tax them? How about I share a video about beautiful roses in Missouri and then get you a fancy card?
