British adults are set to spend just over £1 billion on Mother's Day gifts this year, with almost half of this being spent on flowers. Flowers are the most popular Mother's Day gift amongst Brits, according to research by Serenata Flowers, with 48 per cent of adults saying they would show their appreciation with a pretty bouquet.
Most of these flowers will be purchased from supermarkets, rather than florists, due to the price. However, this doesn't mean you should have to compromise on quality. To help you decide where to get your bouquets this Mother's Day Paige Holland decided to put Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco to the test - and it was a close call.
Paige's flower of choice for the task were roses as most major supermarkets sell them all year round. She also compared them against several criteria - how much they cost, the quality, freshness and how the flowers would fare over seven days. She then spent the week watching their progress so that she could rank them from best to worst.
