Some of the most luxurious flowers are roses. Regarded as some of the most beautiful and delicate flowers in the world, roses instantly bring about feelings of happiness and joy.



When most people think of roses they conjure up images of bouquets of a dozen red roses, however a variety of different rose colours and styles are available.

Pink roses are a gorgeous alternative to red, and are more fitting to send to your family or friends. In fact they are a traditional Mother's Day gift, dating back hundreds of years. When they were a common sight on the paths and roads young children would pick them on their way home to see their mothers.

A nice twist on pink roses are ‘Classic Cezanne' roses, which have a soft pale pink yet with a strikingly dark mulberry purple edges to each petal. Deeper pinks represent gratitude, appreciation and happiness while pale shades convey grace, admiration and gentleness. This lets the Classic Cezanne bring about both meanings and its unique colours and blending really helps it to make an impact in any home.

While pink is the traditional rose colour for Mother's Day it is more important to buy roses in the colours your mum will love! Yet by combining that conventional colour with a more unique and unusual variety you can bring a new twist to her much loved favourite.

A warm refreshing change to the standard rose palette is ‘Versilia' peach roses. With their delicate unfurling petals of peach and slightly yellow glow to their centre, Versilia roses bring a lively Spring feeling.

Tulips are another instantly recognisable flower, well known for their exquisite shapes and variety of colours. When combined with hyacinths tulips can make a distinctive and captivating display. A common combination of colour is pale pinky red tulips mixed with vibrant purple hyacinths.

Tulips look perfect with a mix of different colours arranged in a bouquet. Each colour has its own unique meaning and symbolism, similar to roses. However tulips sometimes have a more personal touch than roses, as roses are becoming a somewhat standard gift.

If you do choose to use roses make sure they are striking and different, using an unconventional shade or variety to bring your own personal flare. This is surprisingly easy now due to being able to order flowers online.

Online florists often have pages and pages of varieties and colourations, while most local florists will only have more standard varieties, and supermarkets maybe one or two!

When presenting luxury Mother's Day Flowers it is important they are given the proper presentation style. Rather than sending a standard clear vase with your gift of flowers, why not have them arranged in a basket? Hatbox style baskets give a real homey feeling, and look great when decorated with ribbons.
