Roses for Every Occasion, Hand-Tied and Delivered Fresh

No flower says more than a rose. It is the one bloom that carries love, thanks, congratulations and sympathy without a word needing to be said. That is why, after twenty-five years of arranging, roses are still the flower our Cape Town studio sends most.

Every rose here is chosen for deep colour and a long vase life, then hand-tied by our florists the morning it goes out. Browse the roses above, or read on to choose the right colour, count and style. You can also shop all our fresh flowers or browse our flowers by type.

Roses Cape Town: Same-Day Delivery from Our Studio

Looking for roses in Cape Town? Order before midday and we deliver across the city the same day, arranged by hand in our studio and hand-delivered so they arrive exactly as they should. We cover the southern suburbs, the Atlantic seaboard, the City Bowl and the northern suburbs, and we deliver same-day in Johannesburg too.

The Red Rose Greenery Bouquet is our everyday Cape Town classic, ready to send within hours. With thousands of five-star reviews behind us, you can buy roses with confidence.

Roses by Colour, and What Each Colour Means

Half the message is in the colour. Red roses mean love and desire, the classic for romance and the reason a dozen reds is the most asked-for bouquet in the country. Pink roses, like the Pink Perfection Rose Bouquet, mean grace and gratitude, so they suit a thank you or a new romance. Browse the full pink roses range, or the wider pink flowers collection.

White roses speak of new beginnings and remembrance, at home at both weddings and funerals, shown at their best in the White Oasis Rose Bouquet. Purple roses mean enchantment and love at first sight, in our purple roses range, while orange roses carry warmth and energy in our orange roses collection. Yellow roses, the colour of friendship and joy, are the cheerful choice when romance is not the point. Our florists wrote a guide to flower meanings and a piece on what flowers symbolise if you would like the full story.

How Many Roses to Send, from One Stem to a Hundred

The count carries its own meaning. A single rose says something quietly certain. A dozen is the timeless gesture of love. Twenty-four says you are always on my mind, and fifty or a hundred is the grand, unmistakable declaration.

For the big gestures, our 50 roses bouquet and large bouquet of roses ranges deliver real impact. The 50 Red Rose Bouquet and the Passionate Luxury Bouquet are our picks when only abundance will do, while the generous Mixed Rose Bouquet suits anyone who loves colour. Stuck for a starting point? Our 100 bouquet ideas guide helps.

Rose Bouquets, Boxes and Arrangements

Roses come in more than one shape. A hand-tied bouquet is the classic, designed to go straight into a vase. A rose box, like our Red Rose Flower Box, makes a bolder, modern statement. An arrangement, such as the Red Rose Fantasy Arrangement or the Fabulous Rose Bowl, arrives ready to display with no arranging needed.

For a designed, romantic look that needs no fuss, our romantic red roses bouquet range arrives ready to display. If you would like help pairing roses with other blooms, our guide to your perfect bouquet of flowers is worth a read.

Roses for Valentine's Day, Anniversaries and Birthdays

Roses own the big romantic dates. For 14 February our Valentine's Day roses range moves quickly, so order ahead. The Red Roses of Romance and the Rose Promise bouquets are made for the day.

Beyond Valentine's, roses are the classic choice for an anniversary or a romantic birthday, and our happy birthday roses range adds a celebratory touch. A dozen reds for the one you love, or a bright mixed bunch for a friend, never misses.

Roses for Sale at Every Price

Rose prices change with the count, the stem length and the season, peaking around Valentine's Day. Ours run from an affordable single bunch to luxury fifty-rose displays, so there is a rose for every budget and every gesture. The cheerful Sunset Rose Bunch and the Good Morning Rose Bouquet offer everyday value, while the Dusty Pink Rose Bouquet steps it up. Buying early, and in season where you can, is always the best value.

Caring for Your Roses, and Making Them Last

A little care goes a long way. Trim the stems at an angle, use the flower food provided, keep them out of direct sun, and refresh the water every couple of days. Done well, fresh roses stay lovely for a week to ten days, like the long-lasting Pink Serenity Rose Bouquet.

Our flower care guide and tips on caring for flowers in a vase walk you through it. If you would like to know the flower better, our florists wrote what is a rose, a guide to roses, and a piece on why fresh roses make the perfect gift.
