Why send roses?

Roses carry their message before the card is opened. That is why they stay the default for anniversaries, romantic gestures and apologies — the recipient understands the gesture immediately, without needing it explained.

They also travel well. Roses hold their shape in transit better than softer blooms, which matters on a warm Perth afternoon when an arrangement may sit at a front door for a short while before someone brings it inside. Sending flowers in summer makes roses a practical choice as well as a traditional one.

Which roses should you send?

Start with the relationship rather than the flower.

For a partner or spouse, red roses remain the clearest choice, and a wrapped bouquet gives the most impact at the door. If you would rather send something less expected, roses combined with lilies or orchids read as considered rather than automatic.

For a newer relationship, deep red can feel like a large statement too early. Blush pink roses, or roses mixed with other blooms, carry warmth without the same weight.

For a friend, a colleague or a family member, mixed arrangements that include roses land better than a straight bunch of red. They say you thought about the person rather than reached for the obvious.

Presentation matters as much as the flowers. A wrapped bouquet needs a vase at the other end. Boxed roses arrive arranged and ready to display, which makes them the safer choice for a hospital ward, an office reception desk, or anywhere you cannot be sure a vase is available.

What do different rose colours mean?

These are traditional gifting conventions rather than fixed rules, but they are widely understood and worth knowing before you choose. We arrange roses in red, blush pink, white and peach.

• Red — traditionally associated with love and romance. The standard choice for anniversaries and Valentine’s Day.
• Blush pink — commonly linked to admiration, gratitude and gentler affection. Suits a newer relationship or a thank you.
• White — traditionally connected to new beginnings and sincerity. Used for engagements and weddings, and also as a quiet sympathy flower.
• Peach — usually read as sincerity and appreciation. A softer alternative to red when you are apologising rather than declaring.
• Yellow — conventionally associated with friendship and warmth rather than romance. Worth avoiding if your message is a romantic one.
• Mixed colours — no single message attached. A good option when you want the arrangement to feel personal rather than formal.

One thing overrides all of it: if you know the recipient’s favourite colour, send that.

How many roses should you send?

We arrange roses by the dozen, the two dozen, and as a 50-stem statement piece. Rose counts carry traditional meanings, though few recipients actually count the stems — treat them as a guide rather than a rule:

• A dozen — the traditional declaration, and still the most requested count for anniversaries. If you are unsure, this is the count that is never read as too little or too much.
• Two dozen — usually reserved for significant anniversaries, or an apology that needs some weight behind it.
• Fifty stems — no traditional meaning attached, purely a statement of scale. Almost always proposals and milestone anniversaries.

Smaller arrangements work too. A single rose or a small posy sent on a day with nothing attached to it often lands harder than a large bouquet on a date already circled in the calendar.

If you want a specific stem count that is not shown here, call us on 0431 669 175 before you order and we will tell you what we can put together that day.

Roses for different occasions

Anniversaries

Red roses are the expected choice, and expected is not a weakness on an anniversary. If you have sent red every year, change the presentation rather than the message — a boxed arrangement, or roses paired with orchids, feels different without losing the meaning. Our anniversary flowers collection carries the same cut-off and delivery pricing if you would rather browse by occasion.

Birthdays

Roses work well for a birthday when they sit alongside brighter blooms such as gerberas or lilies. A dozen red roses on a birthday can read as romantic even when that was not the intention, so a mixed arrangement is usually the better call unless the recipient is your partner. Our birthday flowers range is built for exactly that.

A surprise with no occasion attached

Flowers sent on an ordinary Tuesday tend to land harder than the ones people are expecting. Adding chocolates or a gift hamper turns a small arrangement into something that feels planned rather than last-minute.

Apologies

Choose soft colours over deep red, and keep the card short. Peach and blush pink arrangements say the right thing without overplaying it.

Mother’s Day

Roses are the most ordered flower for Mother’s Day in Perth, usually in blush pink, white or peach rather than red. Book the delivery date early — it is the single busiest delivery day of the year across every Perth florist.

Valentine’s Day

Red roses sell out across Perth every year, and stock on 14 February is limited to what florists can source that morning. Order early in the month and select your delivery date at checkout rather than leaving it to the day itself.

Can I get same-day rose delivery in Perth?

Yes. Order by 4 PM, Monday to Saturday, and we deliver the same day across the Perth metropolitan area, subject to your delivery suburb and our standard delivery terms.

The 4 PM cut-off leaves you most of the working day to decide. Remembering an anniversary at lunchtime still leaves enough time to get roses to the door that afternoon.

Orders placed after 4 PM, or on a Sunday, go out on the next delivery day. You can also select a future delivery date at checkout, which is worth doing for anniversaries and for Valentine’s Day. Our delivery FAQ covers timing in more detail.

Where we deliver roses in Perth

We deliver to every kind of address across the Perth metro area, not just houses.

Homes and apartments. Street addresses, units, townhouses and apartment complexes. For secure buildings, add the unit number and the recipient’s mobile at checkout so our driver can get through the entry.

Workplaces and offices. Include the business name and the suite, level or shop number. Reception will usually take the delivery on the recipient’s behalf, which makes boxed roses the practical choice — they need no vase and hold their own water.

Hospitals and medical centres. We deliver to hospitals and medical centres across Perth. Give us the ward or department along with the patient’s full name, since wards move patients and the front desk needs both to route the delivery. Compact arrangements travel better through a hospital than tall ones, and some wards prefer low-fragrance flowers, so keep that in mind when choosing.

Aged care homes and retirement villages. We deliver to aged care homes across the metro area. Include the resident’s room or unit number, and choose an arrangement that comes in its own container where you can — staff appreciate not having to find a vase.

Funerals, services and venues are covered too, through our sympathy and funeral flowers range, and we handle event flowers for weddings and functions.

Rose delivery across the Perth metro area

We deliver across the Perth metropolitan area from our Thornlie workshop, and we price delivery on road distance rather than a flat rate.

Nearby suburbs sit at the bottom of the range. Thornlie, Gosnells and Canning Vale fall at or close to the $10 minimum. Inner suburbs such as South Perth and East Perth sit a little above that. Northern and coastal suburbs — Stirling and Joondalup among them — sit at the top of the range, and nothing costs more than $30 regardless of distance.

Your exact delivery fee appears at checkout once you enter the delivery suburb. There are no weekend surcharges, and nothing is added afterwards. Sending further south? Atwell and the southern corridor sit inside the same metro run.

Can you deliver roses to an office or workplace?

A dozen is the traditional count for a romantic declaration and the most requested for anniversaries. Two dozen suits for a significant occasion, and we also arrange a 50-stem statement piece for proposals and milestones.

Are roses a good choice for a birthday?

Yes, though a mixed arrangement usually works better than a bunch of red roses. Red roses can read as romantic on a birthday even when that was not the intention, so keep the straight red bouquet for a partner.

Can I choose a future delivery date?

Yes. Select your preferred delivery date at checkout. We recommend booking ahead for anniversaries, Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day, when roses are in short supply across Perth.
