The Language of Love

Luxury Rose Bouquet: 250 Roses That Say Everything at Once

There are apologies, and then there is a doorway filled with 250 roses. The Language of Love is the largest bouquet we make: deep red, soft pink and cream roses gathered by hand in our Claremont studio, wrapped in our signature pink paper, and carried to the door by someone who knows exactly what it means. We have been hand-tying roses here since 1999, and this is the one we build when words have run out. Browse the rest of our roses, our rose bouquets and our luxury flower arrangements.

Two hundred and fifty roses do not ask a question. They answer one.

What Is in the Language of Love Bouquet

Two hundred and fifty stems, counted by hand. Deep red roses sit at the heart of it, soft pink roses are threaded through, and cream roses catch the light at the edges. They are hand-tied rather than set in foam or a vase, so it arrives as one enormous held thing that genuinely takes two arms to carry. If this is more than the moment calls for, our 50 red rose bouquet makes the same point more quietly, our mixed rose bouquet plays with the same palette, and our pink perfection rose bouquet leans tender rather than grand.

What Do Red, Pink and White Roses Mean?

In the language of flowers, red roses mean love and passion, pink roses mean admiration, gratitude and grace, and white or cream roses mean purity, reverence and new beginnings. Put all three in one bouquet and you are not saying a single thing, you are saying the whole arc of it: I want you, I am grateful for you, and I would start again with you. That is where this bouquet takes its name. Floriography, the Victorian practice of sending messages through flowers, is the reason the colour of a rose still carries meaning today.

When to Send The Language of Love

This is not a Tuesday bouquet. Send it for a proposal, a fortieth anniversary, a reconciliation that matters more than pride, or a Valentine's Day you fully intend to be remembered for. It is the grandest thing in our romantic red roses range and the far end of our large bouquet of roses collection. If 250 is more than the moment needs, our 50 roses bouquet is the popular middle ground, while our red and white rose bouquet and our classic red roses cover everything in between. For February, start with our Valentine's Day roses and our guide to Cape Town's best Valentine's Day flowers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do red, pink and white roses mean together?

Red roses mean love and passion, pink roses mean admiration and gratitude, and white or cream roses mean purity and new beginnings. Together they say the whole of it rather than one note, which is exactly what this bouquet was designed to do. Our guide to red roses goes deeper into what each shade has meant over the years.

How many roses are in The Language of Love?

Two hundred and fifty, counted and hand-tied by our florists in Claremont. It is the largest bouquet we make. If you want the same sentiment at a gentler scale, our endless love arrangement carries the meaning without the sheer size.

How long do roses last, and how do I keep them fresh?

Expect five to seven days, and longer with a little care. Trim the stems on a slant before they go in water, change the water every second day, and keep the bouquet out of direct sun and away from heaters. Keep it away from the fruit bowl too, because ripening fruit gives off a gas that ages flowers quickly.

Can The Language of Love be delivered the same day?

Yes, across Cape Town. Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, and we hand-deliver it that same day. A bouquet this large is carried by hand rather than sent by courier, so it is a Cape Town delivery only.

Is The Language of Love a limited edition?

It is. We build it in very small numbers, because 250 roses of the right quality are not always available at once, so it appears and disappears from the site through the year. If it is showing as in stock, it is available now.

What should I write on the card?

Less than you think. A bouquet of 250 roses has already said the loud part, so the card can afford to be quiet and specific: one memory, one promise, one name. If you would like a line to borrow, our collection of love quotes has plenty worth stealing.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day.

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.

Personalize: Gift your flowers, Gift Boxes, and Artificial Flowers and Plants with the Care They Deserve; they will be a Source of Joy and Elegance for you.
