The flowers arrived on time and were nicely boxed. It was clear when we put the flowers in the vase that the roses had long passed their best by date, They were already in full bloom and some of the outer petals were dead or dying. By the next day and despite adding the supplied flower food the roses started to droop and within 3 days they had to be thrown away. The other (cheaper) flowers that were with the roses (not sure of their name) faired better. Primarily because they hadn't yet opened and when they did they lasted almost 2 weeks. In short, for the money they charge I would have expected better quality and for them to last longer. I personally won't be buying flowers again from Debehnams.
