Marmalade

Marmalade: A Bouquet of Bright Orange Roses

Some roses murmur. These ones shout, in the best way. Marmalade is a bouquet of bright orange roses in a proper, full-on tangerine, wrapped in two-tone orange and lime green so the colour starts before you even reach the flowers. It is the rose for good news and good moods: a promotion, a well done, a happy hello to someone who lights up a room. Our florists hand-tie every one 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. Find more in our orange roses, our wider orange flowers and the full roses range.

Bright Orange Roses, Wrapped in Orange and Lime

This one is all about the rose. We pack it full of bright orange roses in that warm, citrus-peel shade, then wrap them in two layers of bold colour, orange against lime green, so the bouquet reads loud and happy from across the room. The roses arrive in bud and open over the days that follow, holding well past a week with fresh water. Because we build to the season, the exact orange variety shifts a little through the year while the bright look stays the same. If this is your kind of colour, see the Sunset Serenade, the Bright Delight arrangement, the Bright Modern arrangement and the Good Morning Rose Bouquet, with more in our rose bouquets. Our what is a rose guide is a nice read too.

What Orange Roses Mean

Orange roses symbolise energy, enthusiasm and warmth, the colour of confidence and good news. They sit between the romance of red and the friendship of yellow, which makes them a way to say well done, I am thrilled for you, or I am thinking of you with a smile. That is why a bright orange rose bouquet suits a celebration far more naturally than it suits an apology. For more on choosing roses by colour, our guide to roses for all occasions walks through it.

Choose Twelve, Twenty-Four or Thirty-Six Roses

Marmalade comes in three sizes, so you can match the bouquet to the size of the news. Twelve is a classic dozen, right for a thank-you or a happy just-because. Twenty-four turns it up for a birthday or a real celebration. Thirty-six is the showstopper, three dozen orange roses for the moments that deserve a bit of noise. All three are hand-tied and wrapped, ready for a vase.

When to Send Marmalade

Because orange is all warmth and no pressure, this bouquet fits the happy occasions best. Send it as congratulations flowers for a new job or a graduation, as birthday flowers for someone who likes a bit of colour, or as get-well flowers bright enough to lift a room. It works just as well as a thank-you, just because, or as one of the bolder gifts for her.

What do orange roses mean?

Orange roses symbolise energy, enthusiasm and warmth, which makes them a natural choice for celebration and good news. They are confident and cheerful rather than romantic, so they suit congratulations, birthdays and get-well wishes more than they suit an apology.

Should I choose twelve, twenty-four or thirty-six roses?

Choose twelve for a classic, easy gesture, twenty-four for a proper celebration, and thirty-six when you want maximum impact for a big occasion. All three are the same bright orange roses, simply more of them.

Are orange roses good for a birthday?

Yes, they are one of the best birthday roses going. Orange is happy, warm and full of energy, so a bright orange bouquet reads as a proper celebration, especially for someone who loves a bit of colour.

How long will the roses last?

With clean water, a fresh diagonal trim every couple of days and a spot out of direct sun, the roses hold well over a week. Our flower care guide covers the details, including how to perk up a thirsty rose.

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.
