Your Resource for Perfect Roses

Anniversary

Celebrate each passing year with a gift that's suitably dramatic, a fitting reminder of a magical wedding day. Traditional lists suggest commemorating your first anniversary with paper; we suggest a garden of paper-white flowers, fresh, fragrant, and undeniably romantic. After seven years, skip copper and present a lush bouquet of copper-colored Roses, along with fresh declarations of your continued affection.

Birthday

The perfect present for the person who has everything, flowers practically unwrap themselves. Decoration and gift all in one, a colorful bouquet saves you from all the will-they-like-it angst of birthday shopping. We've never had anyone try to return their birthday flowers, and they're pretty much guaranteed to be the right size. If you're planning a birthday party, remember to schedule your flower delivery a few days early, so they'll bloom in time.

Friendship

An eloquent way to let someone know you care, flowers aren't just for romance anymore. Celebrate your friendship with a thoughtful note and a fresh bouquet, treat your long-time best friend to a long-lasting potted Orchid, or send a cheery bunch of yellow Roses to an intriguing new acquaintance. There's no need to wait for a special occasion; after all, they're your friends every day.

Funeral

Carefully chosen and suitably subdued, funeral flowers should be both appropriate and exquisite. Lush blooms in muted tones bring simple beauty to any ceremony, and are a tasteful tribute to a life well-lived.

Please note: Because many of our flowers are delivered in bud form, we recommend contacting the funeral home prior to delivery, or sending sympathy flowers directly to the bereaved.

 

 

Corporate

Professional without being boring, generous without being inappropriate, a bouquet of fresh flowers can be the perfect corporate gift. Thank the whole office with one of our Grand Boxes, charm a client with a colorful bouquet, or take advantage of one of our Year In Bloom® programs and adorn your own desk with a constantly changing array of fresh flowers.

 

 

Romance

A single rose may be enough to disprove the classic line (romance, as we all know, isn't even close to dead), but there's no need to limit yourself. Pop a colorful bouquet out from behind your back, adorn her doorstep with a box of over a hundred red tulips, or present two dozen roses at the end of a romantic dinner. You provide the candlelight; we'll provide the flowers (and chocolate, if need be).

Congratulations

Some milestones require commemoration, congratulation. Whether you're welcoming a new baby into the world, watching someone toss their graduation cap high into in the air, or celebrating a friend's first home, flowers are in order. Send flowers to match the occasion— a lush bouquet in the graduate's school colors, the brand-new kitchen's colors, or sweet pastels for a just-born baby.

Thank You

Sometimes a thank-you note just isn't enough. For the neighbor who watched your house for a week, for the college kid who tutored your not-in-college-yet kid through the SATs, or for the co-worker who goes above and beyond the call of duty, you need a gift that shows the extent of your appreciation. Eloquent without being excessive and sweet without being saccharine, flowers are always appreciated, and a great way to say thanks.

Get Well

If happiness promotes healing, and flowers promote happiness, is there any better gift for an ailing friend than flowers? We think not. Send some cheer to the invalid in your life with a fresh bouquet in vivid, life-affirming shades. Gerbera Daisies may be the classic "Get Well Soon" flower, but don't let that limit you; try tulips, roses, or even a mixed bouquet.

Note: If you're sending flowers to a hospital, please specify the room number of the patient. You may also wish to contact the hospital directly, in order to ensure that the patient receives the flowers as soon as possible.
