Mimosa: Orange Roses in a Vase, Ready to Display

Mimosa is what a sunny morning would look like as flowers. This is orange roses in a vase, a generous gather of bright orange roses, some glowing gold at the centre, arranged in a clear glass vase and delivered already in water. It lands looking finished, with nothing to unwrap or arrange, so all anyone has to do is find a spot for it. The colour is pure brunch: warm, happy and impossible to walk past without smiling. Our florists arrange every one by hand 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.

Sunny Orange Roses in a Glass Vase

This is a simple idea with the volume turned up: good orange roses, plenty of them, arranged loosely in a clear glass vase so the green stems show through the water. The roses run from deep flame at the edges to bright gold at the heart, which is what gives Mimosa its glow. They arrive in bud and open over the days that follow, holding well past a week with fresh water. Because we build to the season, the exact orange variety shifts a little through the year while the warm, sunny look stays the same. If orange is your colour, see the Bright Orange Glass Vase, the Sunset Rose Bunch, the Mixed Rose Bouquet and the Rose Garden Bouquet, with more in our rose bouquets. Our what is a rose guide is a nice read too.

What Orange Roses Mean

Orange roses symbolise energy, enthusiasm and warmth, the colour of confidence and good news. They sit between the romance of red and the friendship of yellow, which makes them a way to say well done, I am thrilled for you, or I am thinking of you with a smile. That bright, happy meaning is why orange roses in a vase suit a celebration far more naturally than they suit a quiet moment. For more on choosing roses by colour, our guide to roses for all occasions walks through it.

Choose Your Size, Vase Included

Mimosa comes in a few sizes, each a fuller vase of orange roses than the last, so you can match it to the table it is going on. The smaller size is right for a desk or a bedside, the larger ones make a proper centrepiece. Whichever you choose, it arrives arranged in its glass vase and ready to set down, with no vase to find and nothing to arrange at the other end.

When to Send Mimosa

Because it is bright and arrives ready to display, Mimosa fits the happy, everyday occasions best. It makes loud congratulations flowers for good news, sunny birthday flowers for someone who loves colour, and one of the easiest get-well flowers to receive, since there is no vase to hunt for. It works just as well as a warm thank-you, or just because someone could do with a lift.

Same-Day Delivery in Cape Town and Joburg

Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, and we deliver Mimosa the same day across Cape Town and Johannesburg. We arrange it fresh on the day, so even a late order arrives looking its best.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flowers are in Mimosa?

It is made from bright orange roses and their own green foliage, arranged in a clear glass vase. The roses run from deep flame to golden orange, and the exact variety shifts a little with the season while the warm, sunny look stays the same.

Does it come arranged in the vase?

Yes. Mimosa is arranged in a clear glass vase and delivered already in water, so it arrives finished and ready to display. There is no vase to find and nothing to arrange.

What do orange roses mean?

Orange roses symbolise energy, enthusiasm and warmth, which makes them a natural choice for celebration and good news. They are confident and cheerful rather than romantic, so they suit congratulations, birthdays and get-well wishes more than they suit an apology.

Is it a good get-well or congratulations gift?

Yes, it is ideal for both. The bright colour lifts a room, and because it arrives arranged in its own vase, the person you send it to has nothing to sort out, which is a real kindness when someone is unwell or busy.

How long will the roses last?

With clean water, a fresh diagonal trim every couple of days and a spot out of direct sun, the roses hold well over a week. Our flower care guide covers the details, and topping up the water in the vase keeps them looking their best.

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 vase arrangement 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. The charm of fresh flowers, the delight of a thoughtful gift box, and the endless beauty of an artificial plant all special moments created by Fabulous Flowers and Gifts.
