Amour

Amour: A Dozen Red Roses, or Two, or Three

Some things do not need translating, and a dozen red roses is one of them. Amour is our purest love letter: velvet red roses hand-tied in our Claremont studio, wrapped in bold red and gold paper, saying everything you have been meaning to say since 1999 words failed you. Choose twelve, twenty-four or thirty-six stems, depending on how loudly your heart is beating. Begin with our bunch of roses collection, our roses for Valentine's, or wander the full rose bouquets range.

What Is in the Amour Bouquet

Red roses, and nothing else, which is exactly the point. Each stem is selected in our Claremont studio for deep colour and a strong, upright head, then hand-tied into a dome and wrapped in layered red and gold paper. No baby's breath, no greenery padding out the count. If you like your romance with a little poetry around the edges, our Red Petal Poetry bouquet softens the look, and Heart Bloom says the same thing in a gentler voice. Feeling ceremonial? Add a bottle of Moet & Chandon Rose Imperial and make an evening of it.

How Many Red Roses Should You Give?

A dozen red roses means I love you, complete and classic. Two dozen doubles the declaration and fills a vase properly, the choice for anniversaries and apologies that matter. Thirty-six red roses is the grand gesture: proposals, milestone anniversaries, and the moments you want remembered in detail. There is no wrong answer, only degrees of certainty. If you are still deciding, our Endless Passion arrangement shows what red roses look like when they stop holding back.

Choose Your Size

• 12 stems. The classic dozen. One dramatic pause when the door opens.
• 24 stems. Two dozen red roses, twice the velvet, made for anniversaries and big birthdays.
• 36 stems. Three dozen. The bouquet she will tell her friends about, in detail, more than once.

When to Send Amour

Valentine's Day, of course, but red roses refuse to be seasonal. Send them for the anniversary of a first date, a proposal that needs a witness, a birthday that ends in zero, or a Tuesday that needs rescuing. Pair the moment with bubbles from our roses and champagne collection, browse more gifts for her, or go entirely over the top with our huge bouquets of roses. Planning a night in? Our guide to the perfect Netflix and chill evening pairs suspiciously well with this bouquet, and if the card has you stuck, borrow from our list of over 200 flower quotes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a dozen red roses mean?

Twelve red roses is the traditional way of saying I love you, one rose for each month of the year. It has meant complete, committed love since the Victorians turned flowers into a language, and it has never needed updating.

What does a bouquet of red roses symbolise?

Deep love, desire and courage. Red roses are the flower of romantic love specifically, which is why they carry proposals, anniversaries and Valentine's Day. The deeper the red, the more serious the message, and Amour's roses are properly deep.

How many red roses should I give: 12, 24 or 36?

Twelve for a classic declaration, twenty-four for milestones and grand apologies, thirty-six for proposals and the moments you want remembered forever. If you are hesitating between two sizes, our florists' advice is simple: go bigger.

Can Amour be delivered same-day?

Yes. Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, and we hand-deliver the same day across Cape Town and Johannesburg. Amour is tied fresh on the morning of delivery in our Claremont studio.

How do I keep red roses fresh for longer?

Recut the stems at an angle, place them in clean water away from sunlight, heaters and ripening fruit, and refresh the water every two days. Cared for this way, our red roses reward you for a week and often longer.

Is Amour just roses, or is there filler?

Just roses. No filler flowers, no padding, only hand-tied red roses in red and gold wrap. What varies is the number of stems, so the twelve looks generous and the thirty-six looks unforgettable.
