From $42.95. Six products, all delivered same day by a local partner florist near the person you are sending to. We are Lily's Florist, a family run network of over 800 florists with 23,100+ verified Feefo reviews and a Trusted Service Award three years running. This range is single roses, lily stems, and gerberas in a vase. None of it is leftover stock or scraps from the back of the shop. These are curated single stem and small arrangement gifts picked fresh that morning. Anna, our qualified florist of fifteen years, has some practical advice below on how to make a $42.95 rose last longer than most people's $100 bouquets.

What's in This Range

Three of the six products are roses. The Single Wrapped Red Rose at $42.95 is the entry point and the most ordered product in the range. It says what it needs to say without saying too much. An apology, a Valentine's Day gesture, or just a Tuesday when someone crosses your mind. Add chocolates and you get the Single Rose With Chocolates at $60.50. Add a teddy and you get the Single Wrapped Rose With Teddy at $60.50, which works for new babies, kids in hospital, or anyone who would smile at a soft toy arriving with a flower.

Lilies are the quiet overachievers in this range. 2 Wrapped Lily Stems at $56.50 sounds modest until you realise oriental lilies open over four or five days, with multiple buds on each stem. By mid week the room smells incredible and the vase looks full. 2 Lily Stems In Glass Vase at $60.50 comes ready to display. You do not need to find a vase or trim anything to fit.

Then gerberas. 3 Gerberas In A Vase at $60.50 is bright, long lasting, and carries no scent. The scent part matters if you are sending to someone in hospital where strong fragrances can be an issue. Gerberas also have thick, sturdy stems that drink water well. They are hard to kill.

Why Fewer Stems Can Outlast a Big Bouquet

Anna is the reason we can talk about stem quality with any authority. Fifteen years as a working florist before she joined us, and she still has strong opinions about how singles should be selected. She reckons people misunderstand what "budget" means in floristry.

She also has opinions about substitution. The rose variety your florist wraps in July will be a different cultivar from the one they wrap in February. Different growers supply different seasons. Anna sees this as a quality decision, not a compromise. The florist picks whichever variety is freshest at market that morning, the one with the most stored energy to open properly and hold its colour. A February rose might be a Grand Prix. A July rose might be an Explorer or a Proud. Red either way, and beautiful either way, but the florist matched the season to the strongest available stock rather than forcing a variety that travelled further or sat in cold storage longer.

"Price was reasonable" and "still looking great nearly 2 weeks later." Two statements in one review that say everything about this range. The price landed right and the flowers lasted. Longevity like that starts with selection and finishes with care at home.

The Fruit Bowl Rule

Anna has a list of things people do at home that shorten vase life faster than anything that happens in the shop. The fruit bowl tops the list.

On a $42.95 purchase, three or four extra days of vase life is significant. You are nearly doubling what most people expect from a single stem. Anna learned this through years of hearing the same complaint from customers who kept their flowers on the kitchen bench next to bananas and apples. Once she started explaining the ethylene connection, the complaints stopped and the repeat orders increased.

Gerberas ordered for a friend at John Flynn Hospital on the Gold Coast. Admired by staff and visitors. Taken home as fresh as the day they arrived. Anna points out that gerberas are naturally low in ethylene sensitivity themselves, which is part of why they travel well and last. The thick hollow stems also take up water faster than most cut flowers. For hospital gifts under $60, they are hard to beat.

Ordering and Delivery

You can order on the website or call us on 1300 360 469. Our team in Armidale is available Monday to Saturday. Same day delivery requires ordering before 2pm on weekdays or 10am on Saturdays. Those cutoffs give our partner florists time to select the stem properly, condition it, wrap it, and get it onto the delivery run while the day is still young. A rushed single rose order is worse than a rushed bouquet because that one stem has to be perfect.

We do not deliver on Sundays. Flower markets are closed on Sundays and florist shops follow. The stems sitting in a cool room since Saturday are a day older and a day weaker. We would rather you order Monday morning and get a rose that was at market hours earlier.

Delivery is $16.95 and we subsidise that because the actual courier cost from the florist to the recipient is often higher. If you decide you want to spend a bit more, our Florist's Choice bunch at $74.50 is the most popular product across the whole site, and our roses range goes well beyond singles. For just because moments, sometimes a single wrapped rose at $42.95 says exactly enough.

Your order gets routed to a local partner florist near the recipient. They select, prepare, and hand deliver on the same day. If you need to change anything after ordering, email [email protected] or call us or use the live chat on the website. If something goes wrong, contact us within 24 hours. We will ask for photos of what arrived from a couple of angles so we can see exactly what was delivered and sort it out. We monitor every review through Feefo, where we hold a Trusted Service Award for 2024, 2025, and 2026 based on over 23,100 verified customer reviews.
