Short answer: Red roses are still the Valentine’s Day flower, and the gift people remember adds one personal detail: an initial, a message on a mirror, chocolates or a hidden gift in the box. At Flower Empire, Valentine’s roses run from $119 for a box of nine to $949 for 200 roses. Rose bouquets and boxes need at least 24 hours of notice, and ordering earlier gives you the widest choice of designs and sizes.
This guide puts everything for February 14 in one place: ten ideas from our rose bouquets and flowers and gifts collections, what each rose count costs, how to send roses to an office or a whole team, and when to order so the date and address are confirmed well ahead.
Before you choose, answer three questions. How long have you been together? Will you give the flowers in person, at dinner or by delivery? And what does your partner love most: classic romance, soft colours, chocolate or a surprise?
Valentine’s roses by count and price
The number of roses is part of the message, so pick it on purpose. Nine roses in a box is a contained, easy gift. Twenty is the classic bouquet. Forty to 80 is a statement, and 100 to 200 fills a doorway. Our bouquets are built by stem count, so the number you choose is the number that arrives.

Ten Valentine’s Day ideas beyond the usual dozen
1. Classic red roses, done well
Red roses say romantic love without explanation. Make them stand out with the presentation and the card, not by avoiding red. Classic 20 Red Roses gives you a little more than the traditional dozen, and baby’s breath adds a softer, fuller outline. It is easy to carry to dinner and easy to display at home.
2. A heart-shaped rose box
A heart box makes the message unmistakable and arrives ready to display, with no vase needed. The Luxury Heart Surprise Box ($169) holds fresh red roses with pearl accents, rose petals and Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Scatter the petals on the table and the setting is done.
3. Roses and chocolates in one gift
Choosing a design that already pairs both makes the gift look planned. The Sweetheart Luxury Rose & Chocolate Bouquet combines 40, 60 or 80 roses with Ferrero Rocher, pearl accents and a personalized message, from $279. The Minnie Rose & Chocolate Box ($139) is a playful keepsake box of red roses and Ferrero Rocher. More pairings are in our flowers and chocolates ideas.
4. Their initial in roses
An initial says the bouquet could only be for one person. The Signature Initial Rose Bouquet is designed around a letter in 40, 60 or 80 roses. Add the letter to your order notes and check it twice.
5. A message on a mirror
When your words should be the centrepiece, a mirror message does it. “Be mine”, “Always you” or your two names read clearly and photograph well. The Personalized Rose Mirror Bouquet pairs roses, baby’s breath and greenery with a lightweight, shatter-resistant acrylic mirror, in 20, 40 or 60 roses.
6. A hidden surprise under the roses
A box with a secret compartment turns flowers into a reveal. The Golden Romance Surprise Rose Box ($149, gold or pink) has fresh red roses on top and a hidden compartment for chocolates, jewellery or concert tickets. Gifts and chocolates are priced separately.
7. The 100-rose gesture
For a milestone Valentine’s, such as your first as an engaged couple or a reunion after time apart, a hundred roses is the statement. The Grand Romance and Grand Passion bouquets come in 100, 150 or 200 roses, designed in floral foam for stability. Give them at home, where they can be set down straight away.
8. Red and white for a lighter look
If all red feels heavy, a white frame keeps the romance and adds brightness. Forever Together surrounds red roses with baby’s breath and a border of white roses, in 40, 60 or 80 roses.
9. Blush pink for a softer Valentine
Not everyone loves red. Pink roses say love more gently and suit newer relationships, partners who prefer soft colours and Galentine’s gifts for friends. The Blush Romance Rose Bouquet comes in 20, 40 or 60 pink roses.
10. A compact box for the office
Surprising a partner at work is a Valentine’s classic. The Signature Red Rose Gift Box holds nine red roses in a black or pink box, sits neatly on a desk and travels home on transit without a vase.
Box or bouquet for February 14
A box arrives ready to display, with no vase to find, which suits a desk, a small apartment or a gift handed over at a restaurant. A bouquet makes the rose count the main event and looks its best on a dining table at home. Very large bouquets are heavy: if you are travelling by transit or meeting at a busy restaurant, a box or 20 roses is kinder to carry.
- Dinner date: 20 roses or a compact box.
- Office delivery: a desk-friendly box.
- Surprise at home: a heart box or 40 to 80 roses.
- Milestone Valentine’s: 100 roses or more, given at home.
Matching the flowers to your relationship
- Just started dating: a compact box or a few pink roses keeps it light.
- First Valentine’s together: 20 red roses and a thoughtful card.
- Long-term partner: an initial, a meaningful number in baby’s breath or a mirror message.
- Married for years: flowers that recall your story, such as your wedding colours or your years together on the Milestone Rose Bouquet.
- Long distance: a rose box timed with a video call when it arrives.
- Friends and Galentine’s: pink roses or small boxes read as affection rather than romance.

When to order Valentine’s Day roses
Rose bouquets and boxes need at least 24 hours of notice. Ordering earlier gives you the widest choice of designs and sizes, especially for personalized designs and the larger bouquets, and leaves time to confirm the date, the address and the card message.
- Early February: choose the design and the personal detail.
- A week before: place the order and add the card message.
- A few days before: confirm the delivery details with us.
- February 14: enjoy the moment.
For delivery, send the recipient’s address, postal code, any unit or buzzer number and who will receive the flowers. For an office, check that reception is staffed and accepts deliveries. If timing matters, for example before a dinner reservation, contact us early and we confirm delivery and any delivery charge for your order. Call 416-388-0409, message us on WhatsApp or email info@flowerempire.ca. Full details are on our delivery information page.
Valentine’s card messages
- “Every day with you feels like Valentine’s Day.”
- “Still choosing you, every single day.”
- “To my favourite person. Thank you for everything.”
- “Our first Valentine’s, and hopefully the first of many.”
- “You, me and a box of chocolates.”
Keeping Valentine’s roses fresh
A box, a bouquet in a vase and a large bouquet in floral foam are not cared for the same way, so follow the instructions for the design you chose.
- Hand-tied roses: trim the stems at an angle, use a clean vase and change the water every day or two.
- Foam designs: add a little water to the foam each day.
- Rose boxes: no vase needed; keep them in a cool room.
- All roses: away from sun, heaters and ripening fruit.
To keep one as a keepsake, hang a rose or two upside down in a dark, dry room for two to three weeks, then keep it with the card in a shadow box. Our rose care guide covers the details.
Mistakes to avoid
- Waiting until February 13 to order.
- Sending a very large bouquet to a busy office.
- Forgetting to confirm someone can receive the delivery.
- A blank or generic card.
- Ignoring your partner’s favourite colour.
