Description
A single red rose, wrapped and hand delivered to their door by a local florist. $42.95 with same day delivery if you order before 2pm weekdays or 10am Saturdays. Sometimes one is all you need.
Wrapping colour may vary from the image.
What You're Sending
One long stem red rose, wrapped in paper with foliage, a personalised gift card, and hand delivery to their door by a real local florist on the day. That's what $42.95 covers.
A single red rose says something specific that a mixed bunch doesn't. There's no ambiguity to it. No wondering what it means. That directness is the whole point.
Anna worked as a florist for over fifteen years before joining us, and she has a thing about how roses get selected.
"Roses have a tell most people don't know about. The sepals, those small green leaves around the base of the bud, should be folded back to about ninety degrees. That means the flower has stored enough sugar to open fully. A bud that's still completely tight might look fresher in photos but it often lacks the energy to bloom properly. It'll sit there closed for a few days then drop without ever opening. A good florist checks this before it goes in the wrap."
That matters more on a single rose than on a bunch of twelve. With twelve, a couple of underperformers get lost in the crowd. With one, the one has to be right.
When People Order This One
Valentine's Day is the obvious one. We see a spike every February, predictably. We've been doing this since 2009, and that first Valentine's week, our home office in Pottsville had two desks that became six plus two temps who had no idea what they were walking into. The phones haven't slowed down since.
But this gets ordered year round for all sorts of reasons. Anniversaries, apologies, a gesture when words feel like too much or not enough. One review on this product summed it up well: "Very easy and quick, got me out of trouble." That's a fair description of what a single rose does. It covers ground fast.
At $42.95 it's the most affordable flower in our range, which makes it practical for the times you want to send something meaningful without going big. Order before 2pm weekdays for same day delivery. If you're after more, our roses category has bunches from three stems up to a dozen.
Care
A single rose in a vase of clean water should give you seven to ten days if you look after it. Trim the stem at an angle, about forty five degrees, before placing it in the water. That angled cut stops the stem from sealing flat against the bottom of the vase, which would block water uptake. Room temperature water for the first fill.
One thing specific to red roses: keep it out of direct sunlight. Red pigments are more sensitive to UV than other colours. A red rose sitting in afternoon sun on a windowsill can fade to a washed out pink within two days.
"Don't put them in the window. That seems obvious but you'd be surprised. A beautiful red rose can lose its colour in forty eight hours of direct afternoon sun. Somewhere with good light but out of the direct glare is where it wants to be."
Change the water every couple of days. That's it. For more detail, see our guide on extending rose vase life.
Delivery
Your rose is wrapped and hand delivered by a real, local florist from our network of 800+ partners across Australia. We've been coordinating this network since 2009. Not posted, not sitting in a warehouse. Made and delivered on the day.
Delivery is $16.95 Australia wide. That fee is subsidised, the actual cost of getting a florist to hand deliver to a specific address is often higher, but we absorb the difference.
Same day delivery if you order before 2pm on weekdays or 10am on Saturdays. Those cutoffs exist because the florist needs time to source and prepare the rose while it's still at its freshest. A flower made up at 4pm and sitting in a delivery van through late afternoon heat has already lost vase life before it arrives.
No Sunday deliveries. Flower markets close Saturday afternoon. Any florist delivering on a Sunday is working with Friday stock that's already lost roughly 30% of its vase life. We'd rather be upfront about that.
Need to change your order after placing it? Email [email protected], call us on 1300 360 469 (Mon to Fri, 7am to 6pm, Sat 7am to 12pm), or use live chat. If something isn't right with the delivery, get in touch within 24 hours with a photo and we'll sort it out.
