Roses

Send a rose bouquet to a partner, a loved one or a friend: red, pink, white, yellow and lavender roses, from a classic dozen to 100 stems, each hand-arranged and delivered to the door by a local florist near the recipient.

Roses say a lot before the card is read, and the color and number you pick change their message, so the guide below covers both, plus care tips. Order by 2:00 PM ET on a weekday for same-day delivery.

How to choose a rose bouquet

What each rose color says

Color conveys most of the message, so match it to the occasion. Red roses are the classic way to say "I love you." Pink roses express appreciation and admiration, which makes them a thoughtful gift for a mom or a friend. Yellow is cheerful and friendly, orange feels warm and energetic, and peach roses are often given to say thank you. White roses suit weddings, new beginnings and sympathy. Lavender roses are linked with enchantment and love at first sight, and a mixed bouquet combines several messages in one. For romance, see love and romance flowers; for a loss, white sympathy flowers include many rose arrangements.

How many roses to send

The number of roses changes the feel. A dozen red roses is the simple classic. Eighteen roses or two dozen make a fuller statement for an anniversary or birthday, and three dozen, 50 or 100 stems are for milestones. For an anniversary, some people send one rose for each year together. Long-stem roses stand taller for a more dramatic look and come in options from one dozen to 100 stems. If you'd rather leave it to the florist, a Designer's Choice rose bouquet is built around the strongest shade of roses that day.

Roses for anniversaries, birthdays and more

Roses are a classic for anniversaries, Valentine's Day and birthdays, and pink roses are a popular way to thank Mom on Mother's Day. Roses also appear in sympathy tributes such as standing sprays and hearts, where white and red are the most traditional colors. If they'd like more than roses, you'll find roses paired with lilies, sunflowers and other flowers in our mixed bouquets.

Rose delivery and care

A local florist near the recipient arranges each rose bouquet by hand and delivers it directly to their home or work on the date you choose. Enter the ZIP code to see available dates in their area, and schedule delivery ahead for an anniversary or birthday. Need flowers delivered today? Same-day delivery is available on orders placed by 2:00 PM ET Monday to Friday and by 1:30 PM ET on Saturday, with no Sunday deliveries. Add a short note at checkout and we'll include it on a card. Roses may arrive partly closed so they last longer, and keeping them beautiful is easy: recut the stems at an angle, remove any leaves below the waterline, change the water every couple of days, and keep the vase away from heat and direct sun.

Rose bouquet questions

What do white roses and yellow roses mean?

White roses are associated with new beginnings, weddings and remembrance, which is why they appear in both bridal and sympathy flowers. Yellow roses traditionally stand for friendship and cheer, so they suit a friend's birthday, a congratulations or a get well wish.

What is the difference between long-stem roses and regular roses?

Long-stem roses are cut with taller stems, so they stand higher in the vase and look more dramatic. They're ideal for anniversaries and milestones, and our long-stem rose bouquets range from one dozen to 100 stems.

Can I send roses today?

Yes. Same-day delivery is available when you order by 2:00 PM ET Monday to Friday or by 1:30 PM ET on Saturday and choose today's date by ZIP code. Most deliveries arrive by 8:00 PM in the recipient's time zone, and there are no Sunday deliveries.

How long do roses last?

With fresh water and recut stems, a rose bouquet usually lasts about a week. Roses that arrive partly closed open over the first few days, so the recipient can enjoy them longer.

Will my roses look exactly like the photo?

Each bouquet is arranged by hand, so it may vary slightly. If a rose color or container isn't available, the florist may substitute one of equal or higher value while keeping the look and feel of the design.
