Pearl and Sage

Pearl and Sage: A White Rose and Eucalyptus Bouquet

Pearl and Sage is exactly what it sounds like: pearl-white roses and sage-green eucalyptus, and very little else. It is a white rose and eucalyptus bouquet stripped back to the two things that matter, the rose for meaning and the eucalyptus for that cool, calm green. White roses have always been the honest ones, the flower you send when you mean it plainly, so this works as easily for a wedding or an anniversary as it does for a quiet goodbye. 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 white rose bouquets, our white flowers, our white flower bouquet range and the full roses collection.

Two ingredients, nothing to prove. Pearl roses and sage green.

Pearl-White Roses and Sage Eucalyptus

There is nowhere to hide in a bouquet this simple, which is why we use only good roses: full, clean, pearl-white heads that open slowly and hold their shape. We pair them with silver-dollar eucalyptus, the round-leaved kind, for a cool green that sets the white off and smells wonderful for days. That is the whole recipe, and the restraint is the point. If you love a white rose, you are in good company here: see the Pure Snow Rose Bouquet, the White Oasis Rose Bouquet, the Pure Elegance Bouquet and the Classic White arrangement, and there is more in our rose bouquets. Our what is a rose guide is a nice read if you want the back-story to the bloom.

Choose Twelve Roses or Twenty-Four

Pearl and Sage comes two ways. Twelve roses is the classic gesture, a proper dozen, right for an anniversary or a thank-you that means it. Twenty-four is the grander version, two dozen white roses for the moments that ask for more: a big anniversary, a wedding car, or simply because you wanted to. Both come hand-tied and wrapped, ready for a vase.

What White Roses Mean

White roses symbolise purity, honour and new beginnings, which is why they have been the wedding rose for centuries. They also carry a long association with remembrance, so the same bouquet that suits a marriage suits a memorial with equal grace. Sent between people, white roses say a love that is honest and uncomplicated, more I respect you and I am here than I want to sweep you off your feet. Our piece on wedding flower symbolism goes deeper if you like the meaning behind the bloom.

For Weddings, Anniversaries and Quiet Goodbyes

Few flowers stretch across as many moments as the white rose. It is a natural for an anniversary, especially a milestone, and one of the kindest things to send as sympathy flowers when words are hard. The same clean white welcomes a new baby, carries real feeling as romantic flowers, and sits beautifully alongside our white peonies in a wedding. Whatever the occasion, white roses rarely strike the wrong note.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flowers are in the Pearl and Sage bouquet?

It is made from white roses and silver-dollar eucalyptus, and nothing else. You can choose twelve roses or twenty-four, and the exact white rose variety shifts a little with the season while the clean white-and-green look stays the same.

What do white roses mean?

White roses symbolise purity, honour and new beginnings, with a long association with weddings and remembrance. They send an honest, uncomplicated message, which is why they suit everything from a marriage to a memorial.

Should I choose twelve or twenty-four roses?

Choose twelve for a classic dozen, ideal for an anniversary, a thank-you or a thoughtful gesture. Choose twenty-four when you want more presence, for a big milestone, a wedding, or simply to make the moment larger.

Are white roses good for sympathy and weddings?

Yes, white roses suit both. Their meaning of purity and honour makes them the traditional wedding rose, and the same quiet dignity makes them one of the most fitting flowers to send with sympathy.

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, including how to revive a thirsty rose.

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.
