Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and we're here to help you say 'I love you' with a romantic bouquet of red roses. Delight your beloved this Saint Valentine's, the designated day for all things romance.
Unequivocally, roses are universally appreciated and symbolise love and passion in every language around the world. Roses are especially popular gifts in Australia. According to a 2019 survey by Brewquets, flowers were the most popular Valentine’s Day gift for women, with an impressive 77% of men choosing a fresh bunch of red roses as a heartfelt surprise.
"Roses are too cliché and unoriginal."
Roses are a classic for a reason. Their elegance and deep romantic connotations make them the perfect gift for expressing love. To add a unique touch, consider opting for different colours, such as our Glimmer Pink Bouquet, or combining roses, like our Mixed Rose Bouquet, to create a personalised and stunning bouquet.
"Roses don't last long."
With proper care, roses can last for a significant amount of time. Follow our expert tips for maintaining their freshness on our care guide, such as cutting the stems at an angle, changing the water regularly, and keeping them away from direct sunlight. Plus, the memory of receiving such a thoughtful gift, as well as the heartfelt message that is delivered with it, will last even longer.
"I'm not sure if my partner likes roses."
Roses are universally appreciated and symbolise love and admiration. If you're unsure, consider asking your partner subtly or observing their reactions to flowers in general. Everybody loves a romantic surprise, especially when paired with a heartfelt Valentine message or simply the thought behind the gift. Alternatively, you can pair roses with other flowers or gifts to ensure they receive something they'll love. These milk heart chocolates or love you teddy bear make a perfect complement.
"I want to give something more practical."
While practical gifts have their place, Valentine's Day is about celebrating love and emotions. Flowers, especially roses, carry sentimental value that practical gifts might lack. Consider combining roses with a practical gift to provide the best of both worlds. Our preserved roses display the beauty of a natural rose for years, making them an enduring symbol of your affection. With preserved roses, you get the best of both worlds—a stunning flower that endures the test of time. And what about these silk rose petals, perfect for scattering on the dining table for a delightful surprise?
"I bought roses last year; I want to do something different."
Traditions are cherished for a reason, and receiving roses can become a memorable yearly ritual. To keep things fresh, consider varying the presentation, such as a different arrangement, adding a personal note, or including an additional surprise like chocolates or a teddy bear. Our florists recommend the Rose and Lily Box and the Snow Blue Rose Bouquet for a change of style.
