Do your market research before even buying seeds. You need to talk to the flower shop owners and see what they need and what they would be willing to buy. Most markets will be saturated with certain varieties so you want to set yourself apart. Long stem roses for example are typically something in demand because of the time & effort involved in getting to a commercial scale. Visit farmers markets and take note of what is for sale and how much. Get business cards, look at their sites, visit their farm if they allow it, see how established growers do things.
