Red Rose Greenery Bouquet

A Red Rose Bouquet That Still Says It Best

There are gifts you overthink, and then there are red roses. Some messages do not need translating, and this is one of them. The Red Rose Greenery Bouquet keeps the classic exactly as it should be: deep, velvety red roses, hand-tied with fresh eucalyptus and greenery so the colour reads even richer. It is the gift for the moments that matter most, the anniversary, the apology, the night you finally say it out loud. Hand-tied in our Claremont studio from hand-selected, sustainably grown roses, it has been our most-asked-for gesture since 1999, backed by a 5.0 Trustpilot rating and thousands of Loox reviews. Browse the wider range in our red roses and red rose bouquets.

The Red Rose Greenery Bouquet at a Glance

• Flowers: velvety red roses hand-tied with fresh eucalyptus and greenery
• Three sizes: a dozen, two dozen, or three dozen roses
• Best for: anniversaries, Valentine's Day, romance, engagements, or a heartfelt apology
• Roses: hand-selected and sustainably grown, picked at their peak

Some messages need no translation. Red roses, and plenty of them.

Red Roses and Greenery, the Classic Done Properly

A red rose bouquet lives or dies on the quality of the roses, so we keep this one simple and let them lead. Full, deep-red heads, long clean stems, and just enough fresh greenery to frame the colour and give it depth. No filler, no fuss. The same care runs through our wider red flowers, and our notes on choosing high-quality roses explain what to look for. If you would rather send roses already styled in a vase, the Red Rose Fantasy Arrangement is a lovely alternative, and the romantic Red Roses of Romance turns the gesture up a notch.

What Red Roses Mean

Red roses are the universal symbol of love and romance. A red rose says "I love you" more directly than any other flower, which is exactly why they anchor anniversaries, Valentine's Day and the big romantic moments. Deeper red shades lean towards lasting, committed love, while brighter reds read as passion and desire. If you enjoy the history and meaning behind them, our guide to red roses and the story of a magical love story are a good read.

A Dozen, Two Dozen or Three Dozen Roses

This bouquet comes in three sizes, counted the way roses should be: a dozen, two dozen, or three dozen. A dozen is the classic. Two dozen says you have been thinking about them a lot. Three dozen is the grand, no-doubt-about-it romantic statement that belongs alongside our large bouquet of roses. If you want to go all out, the 50 Red Rose Bouquet takes it even further.

Red Roses for Valentine's, Anniversaries and Big Apologies

Red roses carry the weight of the occasion. They are the obvious, never-wrong choice for romantic flowers and Valentine's flowers, and our dedicated Valentine's roses and romantic red roses are built around exactly this. Their depth makes them right for an anniversary or an engagement, and sincere enough to carry an I'm sorry when it really counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do red roses mean?

Red roses are the universal symbol of love and romance, the flower that says "I love you" most directly. Deeper reds suggest lasting, committed love, while brighter reds lean towards passion and desire. That is why they are the classic choice for anniversaries, Valentine's Day and proposals.

How many red roses come in each size?

The Red Rose Greenery Bouquet comes in three sizes: a dozen roses, two dozen, or three dozen, each hand-tied with fresh greenery. The current price for each size is shown at the top of the page.

How many roses should I give?

The number carries its own message. A single red rose says love at first sight, a dozen says your love is complete, two dozen says you are always thinking of them, and three dozen is an unmistakable grand romantic statement.

What greenery is in the bouquet?

We finish the roses with fresh eucalyptus and seasonal greenery, chosen to frame the red and add depth and texture. The exact greenery shifts a little with the season while the look stays the same.

How long will the roses last and how do I care for them?

With clean water, a fresh diagonal trim every couple of days and a spot out of direct sun, expect roughly five to seven days, often more. Removing any leaves that sit below the waterline keeps the water clean and the roses fresher for longer.

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.
