Flowers are one of the most versatile and well-loved birthday gifts, because they suit any age and any relationship. The secret to surprising someone lies in choosing a colour that matches the birthday person's personality, a format that fits your relationship and a small extra, such as chocolates, jewellery or champagne. A hand-prepared box of roses with a personalised message turns a simple gesture into a memorable moment.
Choosing the colour to suit their personality
Each rose colour conveys something different. Thinking about who will receive the gift helps you get it right:
- Red: for your partner, on a romantic birthday.
- Pink: affection and admiration, ideal for mothers, sisters or close friends. Discover our pink roses.
- Yellow: joy and friendship, perfect for friends and colleagues. Discover our yellow roses.
- White: timeless elegance, for those who prefer understated tones.
- Salmon: a warm, original shade, loved by those who prefer soft colours.
- Blue or black: for creative, daring personalities.
Our guide to the meaning of rose colours will help you choose with confidence.
Choosing the right size
The number of roses can reflect how close you are or how important the date is:
- Single Rose: a preserved rose, from €30, for a delicate gesture.
- Simplicity: 7 to 9 roses, an elegant and understated gift.
- Glamorous: 18 to 22 roses, from €85 in fresh roses, a beautifully balanced choice.
- Passion XL and Luxurious: 30 to 45 roses, for milestone birthdays.
- Supreme: our exclusive format, for a truly special date.
For more details, our size guide explains each format.
Fresh or preserved roses?
Fresh roses come from Ecuador, picked at the peak of their bloom, and last 10 to 15 days thanks to each box's built-in watering and insulation system. Preserved roses keep their fresh, silky look for 3 to 5 years, with no water. For those who love the fragrance and freshness of natural flowers, fresh roses are ideal. For a lasting keepsake of the birthday, preserved roses are the best option.
Ideas by recipient
- For your partner: red roses in a generous format, with champagne.
- For your mother: preserved pink or white roses, so the gift lasts.
- For a friend: yellow or salmon roses with chocolates.
- For a colleague: a Simplicity or a Single Rose, elegant without being excessive.
