Lemon Drop

Lemon Drop: A Dozen Yellow Roses, Pure Sunshine

There is something about a dozen yellow roses. No mixed bunch, no filler, just roses the colour of pure sunshine, gathered close and wrapped in fresh green. Lemon Drop is exactly that: classic yellow roses by the dozen, the kind you send to make someone genuinely happy. Yellow is the colour of friendship and good cheer, so this is the bunch for a friend, a celebration, or a bright bit of good news rather than romance. Our florists hand-tie every order in our Claremont studio, the way we have since 1999, and it is backed by a 5.0 Trustpilot rating and thousands of Loox reviews. Choose twelve, twenty-four or thirty-six, then find more in our roses, our rose bouquets and our friendship gifts range.

Lemon Drop at a Glance

• Palette: pure sunshine yellow, wrapped in fresh green
• Blooms: classic long-stem yellow roses, nothing else
• Sizes: a dozen (12), two dozen (24) or three dozen (36)
• Best for: a friend, congratulations, get-well, a birthday, or an apology

Just roses, just yellow, by the dozen. Pure sunshine, nothing to overthink.

Nothing but Sunshine Roses

There is no mixed bunch here and no filler, only roses. Each one is a bright, full-headed yellow rose, long-stemmed and cut fresh, gathered into a clean round dome and finished in green wrap. It is the simplest, happiest thing you can send. With clean water and a fresh trim, the roses hold well over a week. If you would like to see more of our yellow and rose range, the Sunkissed Yellow Bouquet and the Yellow Gerbera Radiance Bouquet carry the same sunny mood, while the Sunset Rose Bunch and the elegant Grace Rose Bouquet show the colours roses come in. New to roses? Our what is a rose guide is a lovely read.

What a Dozen Yellow Roses Mean

A dozen yellow roses means friendship, joy and warm good wishes, which is what sets them apart from a romantic red bunch. Yellow is the cheerful rose, the one you send to lift someone rather than to woo them, so a dozen of them says I am thinking of you and I want you to smile. The classic count of twelve makes the gesture feel generous and considered without ever reading as romantic. For more on choosing roses by colour and occasion, our guide to roses for all occasions walks through it.

Choosing Your Size: 12, 24 or 36

Lemon Drop comes in three sizes, so you can match the gesture to the moment. A dozen yellow roses is the classic, just right for a friend or a thank-you. Step up to two dozen when you want to make more of a statement, or three dozen for something properly show-stopping. If you are after real volume, our large bouquet of roses and huge bouquet of roses collections go bigger still, and our 20 roses bouquet range sits neatly in between.

When to Send Lemon Drop

Because yellow is the friendliest rose, send Lemon Drop whenever the feeling is warm rather than romantic. It makes bright congratulations flowers for good news, a sincere peace offering from our I am sorry flowers range, and cheerful birthday flowers for someone who loves a bit of colour. It is a thoughtful pick for a friend going through a hard week, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a dozen yellow roses mean?

A dozen yellow roses means friendship, joy and warm good wishes. Yellow is the cheerful, non-romantic rose, so a dozen of them is a generous way to make a friend smile, celebrate good news, or simply show you care.

How many yellow roses should I send, 12, 24 or 36?

A dozen is the classic choice for a friend or a thank-you. Two dozen makes a bigger statement for a special occasion, and three dozen is for something truly show-stopping. All three are the same fresh yellow roses, just in greater number.

Are yellow roses a romantic gift?

Not really, and that is their charm. Yellow roses say friendship and warmth rather than romance, so you can send them to almost anyone. For love, red or pink roses send the clearer message.

How long do yellow roses last?

With clean water, a fresh diagonal trim every couple of days and a spot out of direct sun, yellow roses hold well over a week. Our flower care guide covers it in full.

When are yellow roses in season?

We source fresh yellow roses year-round, so Lemon Drop is available whatever the month. The exact rose variety may shift a little with the season while the bright yellow colour stays the same.

Can I get same-day delivery in Cape Town and Joburg?

Yes. Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, for same-day delivery across Cape Town and Johannesburg. As a fresh bouquet, it is delivered within these two cities rather than couriered nationwide.
