Rosa Dozen

Rosa Dozen is a hand-tied dozen of Colombian roses with their petals flexed open by hand, so each rose looks fully bloomed and almost twice its usual size from the day it arrives. Choose red, white or pink, and either 12 roses wrapped as a bouquet or 24 roses designed in a vase.

Our roses: we use 60cm Colombian roses, chosen because in our experience they last the longest.

Flexing (also called reflexing) is done petal by petal by our florists and gives a rose a lush, garden-rose look that photographs beautifully. It is our most ordered rose gift for anniversaries, Valentine's Day, engagements and Fatiha or Katb Al-Kitab celebrations, and the 24-rose vase version doubles as a table centrepiece.

Colombian roses are chosen for their large heads and long, straight stems. Rose variety and exact shade vary with the season; we always substitute with roses of equal or greater value in the colour you chose. Care: recut the stems, refresh the water every two days and keep the roses cool and out of direct sun. Order by 3pm (10am on Sundays) for same-day delivery across Sydney Metro (free in Greenacre, from $19.95 elsewhere by postcode).
