 Roses: The Classic Choice for Love & Romance

Roses have long been the go-to flowers for romance. But did you know each colour tells a different story?

Popular rose meanings:

• Red Roses: Love, passion, respect

• Yellow Roses: Friendship, joy, new beginnings

• White Roses: Purity, sympathy, remembrance

• Pink Roses: Admiration, gratitude

When to choose roses:

• Anniversaries

• Romantic gestures

• Funeral flowers (white and soft tones)

• Special thank-you gifts

The Bloom Room offers elegant rose arrangements with same-day flower delivery, so your message never goes unsent.

 Lilies: Elegant and Meaningful

Lilies are a Florist Chadstone   favourite for a reason — they are graceful, fragrant, and rich in symbolism.

Types of lilies to consider:

• Asiatic Lilies: Bright, bold colours with little fragrance

• Oriental Lilies: Large blooms, sweet scent

• Calla Lilies: Sleek and modern

Best occasions for lilies:

• Sympathy or funeral flowers

• Weddings and formal events

• Get well soon bouquets

Reasons to love orchids:

• Long-lasting and low maintenance

• Symbolise beauty, strength, and sophistication

• Great for home décor and business gifting

When to order orchids:

• Birthdays and congratulations

• Housewarmings

• Corporate gifts

• "Just because" moments
