A bouquet of red roses is a simple, personal way to show love, gratitude or deep feeling. Here you’ll find both classic bouquets made with roses alone and arrangements paired with seasonal flowers and greenery. They’re a thoughtful choice for someone you love, an anniversary, a birthday or simply to say “I’m thinking of you” without many words.
Red roses are often chosen for romantic occasions. A bouquet makes a lovely gesture for Valentine’s Day, a proposal, a reunion after time apart or a shared anniversary. You don’t need a special day to send flowers to someone you love.
A bouquet of red roses on its own has a classic, understated feel. Choose a small, delicate bunch or a more generous bouquet when the occasion calls for it. For a softer, more varied look, roses can be paired with lisianthus, alstroemeria, baby’s breath or fresh greenery, while still keeping the roses at the centre.
These bouquets aren’t just for a partner. Red roses can also be a fitting choice for a wife, mum, close friend or someone you’d like to thank in a more personal way. For a formal occasion, choose a simpler arrangement. For a more relaxed gesture, go for a mixed bouquet with a natural feel.
To help roses stay fresh for longer, place them in a clean vase with lukewarm water and trim the stems at an angle. Keep the bouquet away from direct sunlight, radiators and fruit bowls. That way, the recipient can enjoy the flowers for a few more days.
