Red Flower Delivery FAQs

How Long do Red Flower Arrangements Last?

Though we’d like for fresh-cut flowers to live forever, most flower arrangements last up to two weeks before losing their freshness. With proper care and attentive watering and replacing, red flower bouquets can survive well beyond Valentine’s Day and anniversary date celebrations. Use this life-guide to see how long you can expect your flower arrangement to last based on flower type.

7-10 days:

• Tulips

• Daisies

• Irises

• Hydrangeas

• Lilies

• Sunflowers

• Roses

10-14 days:

• Alstroemerias

• Dahlias

• Gerberas

• Birds of Paradise

14+ days:

• Carnations

• Orchids

• Freesias

• Chrysanthemums

To ensure your colorful fresh-cut flowers enjoy many days of blooming life, we recommend re-cutting stems every time you replace the vase water. This should be about every other day. We also recommend feeding your flowers the included flower food to give your pretty blossoms the nutrients they need. Finally, keep your red flowers out of direct sunlight to preserve their vibrant coloring.

What Do Red Flowers Signify?

Whether you plan on ordering a bouquet of red flowers as a sweet anniversary present or a bouquet of long-stem roses as thoughtful thank you flowers, the significance of the red flower always rings true. Red flowers are most commonly associated with elements of love, passion, desire, courage, and respect.

On What Occasions Should You Send Red Flowers?

While a red flower delivery is usually associated with Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and other romantic occasions, there are plenty of other times in which sending red flowers is appropriate. Send your sweetheart or spouse red birthday flowers to celebrate their special day. A red rose delivery is a good choice for birthdays, anniversaries and, of course, Valentine's Day.

While white is the classic choice for sympathy flowers, there is no reason you can’t send red flowers to the funeral home or the deceased’s family. In this context, red flowers signify beauty and love, qualities that the deceased may have had in abundance. If you knew the late person liked red flowers, that is another reason to honor their memory with such blooms.

Red flowers also represent strength and vigor. Although they are not the traditional flowers sent to those recuperating from illness or injury, sending a red flowers delivery indicates the patient is a fighter and will overcome this setback. While red roses definitely indicate romance, other types of red flowers are fine to send as a gesture of friendship or to family members. Someone with a fiery personality surely identifies with red flowers!

When you’re in love, you really don’t need an occasion to send red flowers. That makes them an ideal choice for a Just Because delivery. Imagine the look on your sweetheart’s face when she receives a red flowers delivery and it’s not February 14th or her birthday! You send these blooms just because you wanted to make her happy. Send her red flowers just because you think she’s the most wonderful person in the world!
