Limoncello

Limoncello: A Yellow Roses Bouquet as Bright as a Lemon

Some bouquets are quiet. Limoncello is not. This is a yellow roses bouquet turned all the way up, sunshine-yellow roses packed close with big, shaggy yellow chrysanthemums and wrapped in fresh green, the colour of a cold limoncello on a hot afternoon. Yellow is the colour of friendship and good cheer, which makes this the one to send when you want to make someone smile rather than swoon. Our florists hand-tie every one in our Claremont studio, the way we have since 1999, and it is backed by a 5.0 Trustpilot rating and thousands of five-star Loox reviews. Find more in our roses, our rose bouquets and our happy birthday roses range.

A cold limoncello on a hot day, but in flowers. Pure, happy yellow.

Sunshine Yellow Roses and Chrysanthemums

There are two flowers doing the work here, and both are pure yellow. The roses are bright canary-yellow, full-headed and cheerful, and we pack them in close with big, double yellow chrysanthemums for that generous, just-picked look. The green wrap sets the whole thing off like leaves around a lemon. The roses and chrysanthemums arrive fresh and hold well over a week with clean water. If yellow is the mood, you will love the Sunkissed Yellow Bouquet, the Yellow Gerbera Radiance Bouquet, the Blooming Sunshine Bouquet and the Sunshine Radiance Bouquet. Our what is a rose guide is a nice read too.

What Yellow Roses Mean

Yellow roses symbolise friendship, joy and good cheer, which is why they are the rose you send to make someone smile rather than to declare your love. Where red roses are romance and pink is gratitude, yellow is pure warmth and optimism, perfect for a friend, a new chapter, or a bit of good news. They carry no romantic pressure at all, which is part of what makes them so easy to give. For more on choosing roses by colour, our guide to roses for all occasions walks through it.

When to Send Limoncello

This is a happy, no-pressure bouquet, so send it whenever the feeling is warm rather than romantic. It makes lovely friendship flowers for a friend who has earned a smile, bright get-well flowers to lift a dull room, and cheerful congratulations flowers for good news. It is just as happy as birthday flowers for someone who loves a bit of colour, or a sunny thank-you. Need the words to go with it? Our happy birthday message ideas can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flowers are in the Limoncello bouquet?

It is made from bright yellow roses and big yellow chrysanthemums, hand-tied and finished in a fresh green wrap. The exact rose and chrysanthemum varieties shift a little with the season while the all-yellow look stays the same.

What do yellow roses mean?

Yellow roses symbolise friendship, joy and good cheer. They are a warm, happy choice rather than a romantic one, which makes them ideal for a friend, a get-well wish, or a celebration. Unlike red roses, they carry no romantic message, so you can send them to almost anyone.

Is a yellow rose romantic?

Not especially, and that is the point. Yellow roses say friendship and warmth rather than romance, so they are perfect when you want to show you care without sending a romantic signal. For love, red or pink roses are the better choice.

What occasions suit yellow flowers?

Yellow flowers suit happy, warm occasions best: a friend's good news, a get-well, a congratulations, a birthday, or a simple thank-you. Their cheerful colour lifts a room, which is why they are such a popular pick-me-up.

How long will the bouquet last?

With clean water, a fresh diagonal trim every couple of days and a spot out of direct sun, the roses and chrysanthemums hold well over a week. Chrysanthemums in particular are one of the longest-lasting cut flowers, so this bouquet keeps going.

Can I get same-day delivery in Cape Town and Joburg?

Yes. Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, for same-day delivery across Cape Town and Johannesburg. As a fresh bouquet it is delivered within these two cities rather than couriered nationwide.

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.
