Aldi Fans Say This Rare $10 Find Is Majorly Slept On: “These Are So Great”

Flowers are one of those Valentine’s Day gifts that simply hit every time. Who doesn’t love to receive a bouquet of fresh roses? The only issue with flowers is that they don’t last very long. That’s why the product geniuses at Aldi thought ahead and launched a limited-time find that one-ups a fresh bouquet: a whole rose bush for your garden for just $10.

As of this week, you can purchase a rose bush from the Aldi Finds aisle — and the chain’s loyalists are gushing that this purchase is one of Aldi’s best-kept secrets. There are multiple varieties available, including Oklahoma red roses, Queen Elizabeth baby pink roses, and an heirloom variety with pink-lilac blooms.

“Pro tip: True happiness is in the Aldi Finds aisle, and your bank account will nod in agreement,” a recent caption of an official Aldi account post reads — and these $10 rose bushes are proof of that.

“Bought the rose bushes last year and they were great!!!” one Aldi shopper wrote in a comment, adding, “Tip for rose bushes: make sure you get the best for wherever region you live in! Mine blossomed several times after planting.”

You can plant your rose bush outside in the spring in a location that receives a lot of sunlight and gives your roses enough room to spread out and grow (banana peels help them develop healthier). Pro florists (Martha Stewart included!) say that roses have one of the most intricate set of roots, so giving this bunch plenty of space in your garden or yard allows them to reach their full potential.

When planting, dig a hole that’s as deep as the bush’s current root ball — but a bit wider, per USDA instructions. You can supplement your soil with a bit of compost to give the plant a boost of nutrients to help growth along.

While you’re waiting for spring to arrive, you can transplant the Aldi rose bush into a pot to let it start growing ahead of planting outside. This might be a prettier way to present the gift to your Valentine anyway! You can also pick up a rose bush from The Home Depot if your Aldi is already out of stock; this variety is low-maintenance and already has blooms.

Hit your nearest Aldi to grab one of these $10 rose bushes for your Valentine. It’s a sign of your love that lasts so much longer than a few stems from the florist.
