At David Austin, the shape, colour and scent of each rose variety are considered with obsessive attention to detail. Using a combination of art and science, we have developed our spectacular collection of cut roses, bred to perform outstandingly in bouquets and arrangements. So if you’re considering treating your partner to David Austin Roses this Valentine’s Day, read on for our advice and inspiration.
Can I buy David Austin Roses from my local florist?
Yes, you should be able to buy David Austin Roses from any local florist, but you will need to order them in advance – ideally two weeks. Since they are specialist flowers, florists don’t usually keep David Austin Roses in stock so it’s unlikely you’ll be able to walk in and pick up a bunch the day before Valentine’s Day. So pop into your local florist or give them a call to place your order ASAP. The minimum order quantity is usually 12 stems.
Luxury Red Rose Bouquets
The ultimate choice to woo your partner, a voluptuous bouquet of red roses like Tess or Darcey is the epitome of classic romance. They really are the perfect choice to make your partner feel special, loved, and oh so chic. You can add foliage and complementary flowers to stretch your budget further, but there’s nothing quite like a simple gathering of red roses for elegant simplicity. You’ll get major Brownie points, trust us!
Valentine's Day Wedding Bouquets
There’s nothing more romantic than saying “I do” on Valentine’s Day itself. If you’re style conscious, consider a mix of pink and red roses instead. The striking colour combo of red and pink is having a real moment in fashion and interiors, and is a fresh modern alternative to red alone. Choose from hot fuchsia varieties like Kate, Capability or Hettie, softer sweet pink roses like Constance and Miranda, or muted shades like Keira or Charity. You really can’t go wrong!
Alternatives to Red and Pink Roses
As stunning and traditional as pink and red roses are, they’re not for everyone. If your Valentine has more unique, unconventional taste, they may appreciate roses in alternative colours like ivory, peach or golden yellow. These gorgeous rose colours also make a beautiful gift for friends if you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with the important people in your life. For all colour options, take a look at Our Roses page and choose the one you think they will love.
Hat Boxes for a Valentine’s Bouquet Alternative
A hat box overflowing with beautiful blooms is an elegant alternative for Valentine’s Day. The recipient is sure to appreciate the unique gift, which is a welcome break from the traditional rose bouquet, as well as a pretty reusable box that reduces waste.
