Choosing red flowers and red roses

How many red roses to send

A single dozen is the traditional way to say I love you, and bigger counts mark bigger moments. Ultimate Red Roses comes in five sizes from 12 to 100 stems, Deluxe Red Roses adds baby's breath and steps up from 12 to 36, and Love Love Love wraps a dozen in burlap and raffia for a rustic red bouquet. For a proposal or a milestone anniversary, 100 Premium Long Stem Red Roses fills one classic vase. If you'd like a gift beside the flowers, the Be Mine Bundle pairs red roses with chocolate and a plush toy. For February, start with our Valentine's Day roses.

Red flowers that aren't roses

Carnations appear in 29 designs, and red ones are traditionally linked with deep affection and admiration. Gerbera daisies bring a round, cheerful face to Heritage Red Bouquet, where they join red roses, hypericum berries and eucalyptus in a deep crimson mix. Hollywood Dozen adds fragrant stargazer lilies to a dozen red roses, Chilly Callas pairs calla lilies with red and white roses, and Tremendous Tulips comes as 10 or 25 stems in red, pink and yellow. For a darker, wine-toned look, see our burgundy flowers.

Red for Christmas and for remembrance

About a quarter of this collection is made for Christmas. Traditional Christmas Centerpiece rises around bright red taper candles, Crimson Christmas Tree shapes red roses and gerbera daisies into a cone with ornaments and pinecones, and Christmas Boxwood Tree is a fresh-cut tabletop tree finished with red accents. Find more red flower arrangements among our Christmas flowers. Red also has a place at a service, where red roses often signal love and respect. A spouse or partner may choose the Red Rose Reverence Casket Spray, laced with trailing ivy, or the Standing Red Rose Bleeding Heart on its own easel, and our red and white sympathy flowers soften the look.

Red flower questions

What do red flowers symbolize?

Red flowers are most often linked with love, passion and strong emotion, and also with courage and respect. Meanings shift by culture: in many Asian traditions red stands for luck, joy and celebration, which is why it shows up at weddings and the Lunar New Year.

What flower says I love you?

The red rose is the classic answer, and a dozen is the traditional count. Red tulips are often read as a declaration of love, and red carnations as deep affection. For more ways to say it, browse our romantic flowers, which lean heavily on roses.

What color flowers go well with red?

White is the classic partner and reads crisp and timeless. Pink softens red for romance, as in Fields of Europe Romance Bouquet with its pink Asiatic lilies. Yellow or orange warms it up, as Sundrops does with sunflowers beside red roses, and deep green turns red festive.

Can I send red roses for delivery today?

Yes, when today is open for the recipient's ZIP code. Order a florist arrangement by 2:00 PM ET Monday to Friday or by 1:30 PM ET on Saturday. There are no Sunday deliveries, and most orders arrive by 8:00 PM in the recipient's time zone.

How long do red roses last?

With care, cut roses often last about a week. Recut the stems every couple of days, change the water, and keep them out of direct sun and away from heat vents. Some roses arrive in bud and open over the next few days, which adds to their time in the vase.
