What makes Ecuadorian Roses so superior compared to other roses?

The result is a flower with remarkable longevity, velvety petals, and sculptural presence, prized by luxury florists for its size, strength, and unmistakable elegance. This rare combination elevates Ecuadorian roses into a benchmark of excellence within the global floral industry.

Can I choose specific rose colours?

Yes! Many of our arrangements are available in a range of colours. For fully custom colour selections, please explore our Bespoke service.

Why are Ecuadorian Roses so special?

Ecuadorian roses are considered the finest in the world because of the unique growing conditions found high in the Andes.At elevations of 2,800 meters and above, intense equatorial sunlight and cool nights slow the growth cycle, allowing each bloom to develop larger heads, thicker stems, and more saturated color.The near-constant year-round climate—balanced daylight hours, stable temperatures, and clean mountain air—creates extraordinary consistency in quality and availability.

Are they ethically sourced? How about the carbon footprint?

While it may seem counterintuitive, roses grown in Ecuador can have a lower environmental footprint than those produced locally in heated greenhouses.In Ecuador, roses grow naturally outdoors under abundant sunlight, requiring minimal artificial energy, heating, or lighting. By contrast, greenhouse-grown roses in cooler climates often rely heavily on fossil fuels to maintain optimal conditions year-round.Studies have shown that this energy use can outweigh the emissions from air freight. Additionally, Ecuador’s rose farms benefit from efficient land use and consistent production, making them a more sustainable and environmentally responsible choice overall.

Do preserved roses need water or sunlight?

Do not water Infinite Roses. Keep them indoors, away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. See our Rose Care Guide for display and cleaning advice.

What are the most popular styles of eternal rose boxes?

Among the most sought-after designs are infinity rose boxes in classic black, luxury black preserved roses boxes, and modern acrylic displays featuring pink infinity roses. Each eternal roses box is designed to be both a gift and a statement piece.

Can I add water to fresh arrangements that arrive in boxes or vases?

Yes, however some arrangements will need to be watered from the top, such as Manhattan Boutique, Classic Boutique or the Classic Boulevard. Please note, due to the size of some boxed products they can not hold a lot of water. If damage is caused to the product during watering OnlyRoses will not be liable to exchange or refund it.

Should I water my InfiniteRose?

Delivery Problems & What We Do

How do I track my delivery?

You will get a WhatsApp from the boutique as soon as your arrangement is ready to go out, and a confirmation once it has been delivered.

We do not publish a live courier map. A delivery round usually carries several arrangements, and a map would show the recipient addresses that have nothing to do with their gift. If you would like an update before your window, message us on WhatsApp or call +44 20 7373 9595 and we will check with the driver.

What time will my roses arrive?

At checkout you choose a delivery window: 11am to 7pm, 2pm to 7pm, or 4pm to 7pm in central London. Outer London addresses can select later windows, including evening delivery until 10pm. The same-day cut-off is 6.30pm for central London and 6pm for outer London. The windows available for your postcode are confirmed at checkout.

What happens if nobody is home?

Our courier contacts the recipient first. If there is no answer, we try to leave the arrangement with a concierge or a neighbour, or in a safe place at the address. If none of those is possible, the roses come back to the boutique and we redeliver, either later the same day or the following day. We will tell you which.

What happens if my delivery is late or does not arrive?

Contact us on WhatsApp or +44 20 7373 9595 and we will trace the order with the courier. If the arrangement could not be handed over, it returns to the boutique and we redeliver at the earliest opportunity, either the same day or the following day.

Can I change the delivery address or date after ordering?

Yes. We can re-route a delivery right up to the scheduled delivery time, and in practice even when the courier is already at the original address. A re-routing charge applies. Call or message +44 20 7373 9595 as early as you can: a change made late in the window may push the delivery into the next available slot.

What if the roses arrive damaged, or the colour is not what I expected?

Colour. If the shade you ordered is unavailable, we contact you before delivery and suggest the closest match, or a later date once that colour is back in stock. You will not be sent a substitute without being asked first.

Damage, quality or stem count. We replace the arrangement free of charge within 24 hours. If you would rather have a refund, send us a photograph by WhatsApp or email; we then collect the product and issue the refund.

Please tell us within 24 hours of delivery for fresh roses, and within 5 days for Infinite Roses.

Some of my roses have not opened yet. Is that normal?

Yes. Premium roses are cut at a tighter bud stage than supermarket flowers, which is part of what gives them their vase life. They open over the following days rather than arriving fully open. If stems are still closed after several days in fresh water, re-trim them and follow our rose care guide; if nothing changes, contact us within the timeframe above.

Bespoke & Corporate

Do you offer bespoke arrangements?

Yes - we specialise in custom luxury rose arrangements for personal occasions, weddings, corporate events, and branded gifting. Visit our Bespoke page to learn more or get in touch.
