The Perfect Traditional Christmas Gift

Red Rose Christmas Bouquet with Gold and Green Baubles

The Perfect Traditional Christmas Gift is a hand-tied bouquet of deep red roses, burgundy chrysanthemums and a red gerbera with green brunia berries, festive cedar and glossy leaves, finished with gold glitter and lime-green baubles and a red satin ribbon. Our florists tie it by hand in our Claremont studio, as we have every Christmas since 1999, and deliver it the same day across Cape Town. Red, green and gold: it is Christmas exactly the way most of us remember it.

Red roses, gold baubles and a satin bow: the Christmas everyone remembers.

What's in the Bouquet

• Red roses: deep red roses at the heart of the bouquet
• Burgundy chrysanthemums: rich, full blooms that last especially well
• Red gerbera: one bright daisy-shaped bloom for a pop of colour
• Festive greenery: green brunia berries, soft cedar sprigs and glossy leaves
• Christmas baubles: gold glitter and lime-green baubles tucked among the flowers (designs may vary)
• Finish: hand-tied and finished with a red satin ribbon

How to Care for Your Bouquet

Snip about 2cm off the stems at an angle, keep the ribbon tied so the bouquet holds its shape, and stand it in a vase of fresh water straight away. Top up the water daily and change it completely every two days. Keep the bouquet away from heaters, direct sun and fruit bowls. The chrysanthemums last especially well, so the bouquet keeps its shape even as the roses open. When the flowers are finished, hang the baubles on the tree.

Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, for same-day delivery across Cape Town. This is a fresh flower bouquet, so it is delivered in Cape Town only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these real flowers?

Yes. This bouquet is made with fresh flowers: red roses, burgundy chrysanthemums and a red gerbera, with fresh greenery and real Christmas baubles.

Does it come with a vase?

No. It is a hand-tied bouquet, so you will need a vase at home. If you would like the same colours ready to display, choose Christmas Flowers in a Glass Vase.

Which size is in the photos?

The photos show the Medium. Large and Fabulous are bigger and fuller versions of the same bouquet.

Can you deliver it today?

Yes, in Cape Town. Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, for same-day delivery, or collect it from our Claremont studio. This bouquet is not available in Johannesburg or for nationwide delivery.

Can I order now for delivery closer to Christmas?

Yes. Choose your delivery date at checkout. Christmas week gets busy, so ordering a few days ahead is a good idea.

Can I keep the baubles?

Yes. The baubles are real Christmas decorations, so they can go straight on the tree once the flowers are done.

Are chrysanthemums safe around pets?

Chrysanthemums can upset a cat's or dog's stomach if eaten, so keep the bouquet where pets cannot reach it.

Is there a freshness guarantee?

Yes. It comes with our 5-day freshness guarantee, or we re-send it.
