This guide covers all three, with our rose bouquets and prices, so you can plan your Valentine's roses in Melbourne without the last-minute rush.

Sunday isn't a normal delivery day for us, so the 14th books out: pre-order and choose 14 February at checkout. Sending to someone at work? Most offices are closed that Sunday, so choose Friday 12 February instead. Saturday 13 February works too if you'd like the roses there for the weekend. Valentine's week is one of the busiest weeks of the year for florists, and roses go quickly. Pre-order early and choose your delivery date at checkout. If you leave it late, same day delivery is still possible when you order by 12pm on a weekday, or by 9am on Saturday, while we have roses available. ## How many roses should you send? There's no rule, but here's how our rose bouquets compare, from a sweet gesture to a grand one: Roses Our bouquet Price 10 or 20 Sweet Heart $90 / $180 12, 24 or 36 (a dozen and up) Rose Gift Box $149 / $289 / $429 25 or 40 My Only Rose $230 / $368 50 Eternal Romance $480 100 Eternal Romance XL $1000 A dozen is the classic. Twenty to forty roses feel generous without being over the top, and fifty or a hundred are for the moments you want remembered: a proposal, a milestone anniversary, or making up for a big mistake. ## Which rose colour says what - Red roses are the classic way to say I love you, and the most popular choice for Valentine's Day. - Pink roses are softer: admiration and affection, lovely for a new relationship or a Galentine's gift for a friend. - White roses stand for new beginnings and are often chosen for a wedding anniversary. Mentone Beach Walk is our white and green rose design. - Mixed colours say joy and celebration, if red feels too serious. See every design in one place on our rose delivery Melbourne page, or browse all our Valentine's Day flowers, including mixed bouquets and gifts. ## What to write on the card Keep it short and personal. A few ideas: - "Happy Valentine's Day. Still you, always you." - "To my favourite person. Love you more every year." - "No reason needed, but here's one: it's Valentine's Day." - "Thank you for everything you do. Happy Valentine's Day." - "Will you be my Valentine?" (unsigned, if you'd like to keep it a mystery) Add your message at checkout and we print it on a card that goes with the roses. ## Delivering to work or home Roses delivered to the office get seen, so a Friday delivery to work is popular. Put the business name, floor or reception, and a phone number for the person receiving them in your delivery notes. For a home delivery, add anything our driver should know, such as a gate code or a safe place to leave them. ## Keep the roses looking their best Trim the stems on an angle, put them in a clean vase with fresh water, and top it up every day. Keep them out of direct sun and away from heaters and air conditioning. Pre-order your Valentine's roses Choose your delivery date at checkout and we'll take care of the rest.
