Birthday Roses

Roses say happy birthday without a word of help. This collection gathers every rose bouquet and arrangement in our birthday flowers, from a dozen classic red roses to mixed bouquets where roses share the vase with lilies, daisies and hydrangea. A florist near the recipient designs the flowers by hand and delivers them the same day when you order by 2 PM in their time zone.

Birthday flowers: which roses to send

Red roses are the classic choice when the birthday belongs to a partner. In the language of flowers they stand for love, passion and commitment, and Classic Red Roses, Deluxe Red Roses and Ultimate Red Roses cover everything from a dozen to several dozen stems. For a friend, a sister or a co-worker, a mixed bouquet reads as a celebration rather than a romantic gesture: Gems mixes roses and spray roses with hydrangea, thistle and lisianthus in a glass cylinder, Lovely Lavender Medley gathers lavender and white roses and carnations, and Fields of Europe Romance sets red roses beside pink Asiatic lilies and gerbera daisies, a burst of color for someone who likes a little of everything. Pink roses carry admiration and gratitude, yellow roses stand for friendship, joy and loyalty, white roses for new beginnings, orange roses for enthusiasm, and lavender and purple roses for enchantment. If you are not sure which colors match the recipient's taste or personality, go with a mix. Nobody has ever been disappointed by a bouquet of roses in three colors, and happy birthday roses in a mix suit every age and every taste.

Same day delivery and next day delivery for birthday roses

Order by 2:00 PM Monday to Friday, or 12:45 PM on Saturday, in the recipient's local time, and a florist near them designs the arrangement from our recipe and hand-delivers it that day, in water rather than a shipping box. Miss the cutoff and the flowers go out the next day, or on any date you pick at checkout, so you can order the birthday roses a week ahead and forget about it until the thank-you text arrives. Deliveries go to homes, offices and schools across the United States and Canada; put the company name and department in the order notes for an office birthday so the roses reach the right desk, where they will sit and liven up the whole floor.

How birthday flower delivery works

Every bouquet on this page is a recipe, and a florist near the recipient follows it with fresh flowers from their own cooler to create the design in the photo, rose by rose, lily by lily, daisy by daisy. If a stem is out of season, the florist substitutes one of equal or greater value and keeps the color, shape and depth of the design, so the arrangement delivered matches the picture in spirit even when a single bloom differs. You can customize the size on the product page, and the price shown is the regular price for that size, with delivery added once you enter the ZIP code at checkout. Our how delivery works page explains the whole process, and if anything about an order needs a human, call us by phone or write through the website and a real person at James Cress Florist picks up.

Make it the perfect birthday gift

Most arrangements come in two or three sizes, so a bouquet from $69.99 can be upgraded to a fuller version for a milestone year. Add a Happy Birthday balloon or chocolates from the extras on the product page, or send the Best Day Birthday Bouquet, which arrives with a balloon already rising above the sunflowers and roses, ready for the birthday party. Your card message is printed and tucked into the petals; add it at checkout, and if words are hard to find, the card ideas on our birthday page are there to copy. For a bigger surprise, pair the roses with something from our birthday gift baskets, which ship separately by carrier, and you have happy birthday gifts for the morning and the evening of their special day.

Other flowers for a birthday

Roses are the June birth flower and the flower in most of our birthday bouquets, but they are not the only option. Shop and explore the rest of the collection to celebrate with other blooms: cheerful birthday daisies, generous lilies, full-headed hydrangeas, warm sunflowers and long-lasting carnations, or discover birthday flowers for her and for mom. Every rose bouquet we deliver for anniversaries, apologies and just because is one page over. The collection offers a range of prices from $69.99 to several hundred dollars for the largest rose arrangements, and each one is built to make a lasting impression on the loved one who opens the door. James Cress Florist has been a family florist since 1903, so every recipe here has been sent, tweaked and sent again, and still makes people smile.

FAQs about Birthday Roses

Are roses appropriate for a birthday?

Yes. Red roses lean romantic, so save them for a partner. For anyone else, pink, yellow, orange, lavender or a mixed bouquet sends a warm happy birthday with no mixed signals. Roses are also the birth flower for June, which makes them a natural pick for a June birthday and an easy choice for any other occasion in the year.

How much does a dozen birthday roses cost?

A dozen roses in a vase starts at $124.95 on this page, and mixed bouquets with roses start at $69.99. The price includes the florist's design work and the vase; delivery is added at checkout once you enter the recipient's ZIP code.

Can birthday roses be delivered today?

Yes, when you order by 2:00 PM Monday to Friday or 12:45 PM on Saturday in the recipient's time zone. Orders placed after the cutoff go out the next delivery day, or on the date you choose at checkout.

How long do roses last after delivery?

Seven days or more with simple care: recut the stems, keep the vase full of fresh water, use the flower food, and keep the roses away from direct sun, heaters and the fruit bowl. Pull off any outer petals that bruise in transit; they are guard petals and the beauty underneath is untouched.
