How to choose Mother's Day roses

Rose colors for Mom

Pink is a favorite among roses for Mother's Day, since pink roses are often linked with gratitude and admiration, and the Deluxe Elegance Long Stem Pink Roses come in two, three or four dozen stems in a tall glass vase. Yellow roses are associated with joy and warmth, a cheerful fit for a mom with a sunny outlook. White roses traditionally stand for purity and remembrance, and lavender is often linked with enchantment. Red says deep love and respect, though it can read as romantic, so many people save it for a spouse.

All roses or a mixed Mother's Day rose bouquet

Nearly all of the 30 designs here include roses. Some are pure rose, like Ultimate Pink Roses with eucalyptus and wax flower, or Wrapped Roses - Designer's Choice, a hand-tied bundle of blush, cream, red and yellow roses she can drop into a favorite vase. Others mix roses with garden flowers. Mother's Dream pairs light pink roses with lavender carnations and purple stock, Berry Rosey sets soft pink roses with mophead hydrangea and hypericum berries in a tall glass cylinder, and Charming Rouge arrives in a white ceramic planter she can keep after the blooms fade. For tulips and orchids too, see our Mother's Day flowers.

Keeping her roses fresh

Some roses arrive in bud and open over the next few days, which helps them last. A quick routine keeps them going: recut the stems, refill the vase with fresh water every couple of days, and keep it out of direct sunlight and away from drafts. Pull any leaf that sits below the waterline. If a bouquet arrives damaged or wilted, reach us within 24 hours through our contact page.

Mother's Day rose questions

What color roses are best for Mother's Day?

Pink is the classic, since it's often tied to gratitude and admiration. Yellow suggests joy, white honors purity and remembrance, and lavender feels graceful. Mixing colors lets you say more than one thing at once, which is the idea behind Wrapped Roses - Designer's Choice and the Deluxe Elegance Long Stem Assorted Roses.

Is it okay to give Mom red roses?

Of course. Red roses stand for deep love and respect as much as romance. If you'd like a softer message, the Deluxe Elegance Long Stem Pink & Red Roses mixes both shades stem by stem, or browse more pink flowers.

How long do Mother's Day roses last?

Often about a week with fresh water and a stem trim every couple of days, sometimes longer. In mixed designs like the Blushing Beauty Bouquet, the lilies open gradually over several days. Tell us within five days of delivery if anything about freshness or presentation isn't right.

What does a white rose mean on Mother's Day?

White roses are often chosen to honor a mother or grandmother who has passed, echoing the old custom of wearing a white carnation. For a living mom, white still reads as elegant and calm. Ultimate White Roses arranges one to three dozen about 27 inches tall. See all our roses.

Can Mother's Day roses be delivered on the day itself?

Mother's Day is always a Sunday, and there are no Sunday deliveries. Pick Saturday, or Friday for a little cushion, so the roses are waiting when she wakes up. Choosing your date a few days ahead is wise during the holiday rush.
