Fundraising With Garden Roses
The Rose Import LAB™ program for teams, schools, and community organizations.
Most fundraisers sell products nobody wants — cookie dough, wrapping paper, discount cards. Yours can sell something people already love.
Rose Import LAB™ Fundraising is a short training that teaches your group to run a premium rose fundraiser using pre-orders, storytelling, and real-world sales skills. Your group keeps the profit — and learns how business actually works along the way.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1 — Take the Short Course
Your team leader receives access to a short online training (about 4 hours, self-paced) covering:
How the fundraiser works
How to pre-sell roses before any inventory arrives
How to present a premium product
How to tell the story behind the roses — and your team
How to organize pickup or delivery
How to avoid the most common fundraising mistakes
Designed for homeschool groups, sports teams, dance programs, wellness communities, youth organizations, clubs, and parent-led groups.
Step 2 — Pre-Sell Roses
Instead of buying inventory and hoping people purchase later, your group collects orders first. Less waste, lower risk, no upfront inventory cost.
Participants learn how to approach customers, explain the fundraiser, communicate quality, and connect story with product.
Step 3 — Rose Distribution Day
Once pre-orders are complete, roses are prepared and distributed locally. Groups organize pickup events, team delivery days, or partnerships with local businesses — and package each rose with notes and branded cards.
It's more than a fundraiser. It's a real-world learning project.
WHAT STUDENTS ACTUALLY LEARN
Students don't just sell flowers. They learn:
How products move through global systems
How pre-sales and premium positioning work
How presentation changes perception
How emotional connection influences buying
How logistics and timing matter
How to communicate value with confidence
Every Rose Import LAB™ fundraising rose includes educational content for the buyer — they learn about the roses and about your organization. The goal is a lasting relationship with your supporters, not a one-time sale.

THE ECONOMICS

Price to customer: $20 per rose
Approximate profit to your group: $1,000+
Higher-end premium roses can increase margins further depending on your market and presentation.
WHY ROSES?
A premium rose is emotionally different from most fundraising products. People buy roses because they feel beautiful, meaningful to give, and luxurious. The product already carries emotional value — which makes the fundraiser easier, and teaches students something deeper: how product, perception, emotion, and presentation interact.
