Around Valentine’s Day, flower orders rise sharply, and prices often go up with them. Ordering early and choosing the delivery day with care make February 14 much easier, especially in a year when it falls on a weekend.
February 14, 2027 falls on a Sunday
That changes the plan. Most offices are closed on Sunday, so send the roses to a home address. If you’d like coworkers to see them, schedule delivery to the office on Friday, February 12. We deliver seven days a week, including Sundays.
Order early
Order a week or more ahead if you can. That gives you the widest choice of designs and sizes. At checkout, set February 14, or whichever day you choose, as the delivery date. You can order online at any hour.
Same-day orders normally close at 4:30 PM, but if you wait until Valentine’s Day itself, you’ll be choosing from whatever is still available.
Be flexible about the time
You choose a delivery time at checkout, and you can request a time frame in the special instructions box. On Valentine’s Day, with more orders out for delivery, a requested window is harder to meet. If the roses must be there before a dinner, schedule them for Saturday, February 13. Roses that go into water the day they arrive should still look fresh on Sunday.
Choosing the roses
Red roses are the classic Valentine’s choice. Pink suits a newer relationship, and lavender says love at first sight. If your partner isn’t one for tradition, a mixed bouquet or roses in their favorite color can feel more personal. For size, 12 roses is the traditional romantic gesture, while 50 or 100 make a bigger statement. Browse our rose delivery collection for Los Angeles to see designs and sizes side by side.
Get the details right
-
- Double-check the address and date. Cancellations need 24 hours’ notice.
- Leave a phone number you’ll answer. If the recipient isn’t home, we call you, and we may leave the roses with a neighbor or in a safe, shaded place.
- Add a gate code, a unit number or a note about where to leave the flowers.
- Add a greeting card, so the roses don’t arrive anonymously (unless that’s the plan).
Writing the card
Keep the message short and personal. One line about a shared memory or an inside joke usually means more than a long poem. If the roses are going to an office, remember that coworkers may read the card too. And if you’d like your partner to guess who sent them, leave the card unsigned.
Prefer to give them in person?
You can pick up your order at 443 E Broadway in Long Beach and hand the roses over yourself. Get them into water as soon as you can.
After they arrive
Recut the stems at an angle, put the roses in cold water with flower food, and keep the vase out of direct sun. Change the water and recut the stems every three days, and they should last well past the holiday.
