Roses

About roses

Every rose-led arrangement we list, from a small vase to the large tribute pieces — which is why the price spread here, $99.94 to $439.94, is wider than any other occasion category. It is not a quality range so much as a size range.

What these cost

Estimated delivered totals in this category run from $99.94 to $439.94, with a median of $119.94 — 21 of the 45 cost less than that. Across 45 arrangements there are 19 distinct totals, so the range is genuinely continuous rather than a few price points repeated. By band: under $114.94, 20; $114.94 – $209.94, 11; $209.94 and up, 14. Every one of those figures already includes Florist One's flat $19.99 delivery and service charge.

Delivery

• Roses are the flower most affected by the Valentine’s crush. Away from mid-February this is an ordinary delivery; in the week before it, order early.
• The funeral rose tributes in this list go to a funeral home against a service time. The romantic arrangements go to a home or an office with no deadline at all.

How to choose

• Colour is the first decision. Red for romantic love, pink for affection, white for sincerity and sympathy, yellow for friendship.
• Count matters less than florists' marketing suggests, with one exception: a dozen is a recognisable quantity and people notice when it is not.
• Roses arrive with the buds partly closed by design, so they open in the vase rather than being at their peak on the doorstep. An arrangement that looks fully open in the photograph is at its best on day one.
• Some of these are white rose tributes for funerals rather than romantic arrangements. The category page for the occasion is the better starting point if that is what you are shopping for.
