Would you like to order roses that say just that little bit extra? Then you've come to the right place. Classic bouquets are timeless, elegant and—let's be honest—always a success. Whether you want to buy flowers for a birthday, a date, an attempt at reconciliation or simply because you're a wonderful person, a bunch of roses always works.
What exactly is a classic bouquet?
A classic bouquet is a floral arrangement that never goes out of style—the floral equivalent of the little black dress. It's all about elegant simplicity and timeless beauty. Think of a stylish bunch of roses as a base, often complemented with green foliage such as eucalyptus or berry grass to give it some volume and depth. No exotic bells and whistles, no glitter, no blue-dyed flowers. A classic bouquet is tightly bound, symmetrical and focused on harmony between colour and shape. Red, white and pink usually predominate, occasionally combined with soft pastel colours. The result? A bouquet that is equally at home at a romantic dinner, a birthday or a business occasion—stylish, warm and always a safe winner.

The colours of roses: which one will you choose?
Roses are like people: each one is special, each with its own character. A brief colour guide:
- Red roses: The classic of classics. Perfect if you want to say, ‘I love you,’ ‘I think you're amazing,’ or ‘Sorry I drowned your favourite plant.’
- Pink roses: Soft, romantic, and subtle. Ideal for budding romances or when you want to make someone smile without going into full Romeo mode.
- White roses: Stylish and pure. Suitable for chic occasions or when you want to show someone peace, respect or appreciation.
- Yellow roses: Cheerful, sunny and friendly. Top choice for anniversaries, parties or just a good dose of positive energy.
Long-life roses: no more changing the water
Don't have green fingers? Or simply don't have time to cheer up your plants every day? Then long life roses are your new best friend. These roses are specially treated so that they stay beautiful for months—no water, no drama, no guilt. Perfect for those who want atmosphere, but don't want to buy a new bouquet every week.
How many roses do you choose in a bouquet?
There are no strict rules, but there are some nice traditions:
- 1 rose – ‘You are unique.’
- 3 roses – ‘I love you.’
- 12 roses – ‘We belong together.’
- 24 roses – ‘I always think of you.’
- 50+ roses – ‘I like to exaggerate, and I mean every word.’
Of course, you can also just go for ‘What do I like?’ or ‘What fits in my vase?’
The perfect vase for your roses
A beautiful bouquet deserves a good vase. Please note:
- Tall cylinder or conical vase: ideal for long rose stems.
- Wide vase: perfect for large, full bouquets with lots of stems.
- Glass: classic and lets your bouquet shine.
Tip: choose a vase where 1/3 of the bouquet is in the vase and 2/3 is above it. Then everything looks perfectly balanced.
