Why Women Want Flowers On Valentine’s Day – And I Don’t Mean Supermarket Bouquets

ByChristen RussoJan 30, 2023In Partnership With Ode a la Rose

I had a partner who never bought me flowers because he thought they were too dated, too traditional, and too prescribed. He was so wrong. All that may be true of a flimsy ol’ supermarket bouquet, but a quality flower arrangement from Ode à la Rose is actually quite the opposite.

Where Ode à la Rose departs from the $10 big box bouquet is that they’re grown with care on a farm, arranged in the traditional French way, and designed according to the seasons. You can literally feel the difference between these two types of bouquets in the room. And receiving Ode à la Rose does make me feel loved.

Flowers someone cared for

Literally every time I walk past the flower cooler in the grocery store, it’s the same trio of orange carnations that are browning around the edges, yellow alstroemeria that have cried a few petals off, and some random baby’s breath thrown in alongside random green filler. Yeah, no, that’s a sad bouquet.

Now close your eyes and imagine your favorite flower. Maybe you don’t know what it’s called, but you know it seems impossible that something so lovely could exist IRL.

Except it is possible, because Ode à la Rose works with caring flower farmers in Ecuador, Colombia, Italy, Holland, and France to source the best, most beautiful blooms out there. These passionate people bring those stems together into attractive bouquets that feel current and intentional.

Matched to your love language

The French founders of Ode à la Rose describe flowers as more than just a gesture—every detail from the type of flower to the number of stems to the colors and design are all chosen with meaning.

If your recipient is vibrant and creative, send an original, colorful bouquet. If your person is minimalist and classy, a simple arrangement with a traditional profile might be perfect. For the down-to-earth friend with a warm, cozy home, maybe you go the dried bouquet route; someone who is sentimental and cherishes unique gestures, their preserved roses are really special. There’s something for everyone, and each is well-thought-out.

Delivery as soon as same-day

If you live in NYC, Chicago, Philly, LA, DC, Austin, or Miami, then you’ll be able to take advantage of same-day delivery! This option is available Monday through Saturday in most cities and does not incur any additional surcharge - just the normal delivery fee.  Certain zip codes in these cities are also eligible for Sunday delivery. Details here.

Everyone else in the US  can also benefit from next-day delivery, if you order by 3pm! The delivery fee is typically $16, but can be as low as $5 for certain small bouquets and as high as $25 for a select number of exceptionally large arrangements.

These lovely flowers do what they’re meant to

The French design, the vibrant colors, long lifespan, and quality. The speedy, affordable delivery. The beauty and care behind the flowers. The options for classic, creative, dried, or preserved flowers. It’s all this and more that makes Ode à la Rose the type of flower that makes a Valentine’s Day bouquet gesture live up to its fullest potential.

When you go this route, it’s not cheesy, it’s not outdated, and is a beautiful gift that will make your love feel appreciated. Don’t wait to pick up one of these gorgeous arrangements for your girl before Valentine’s Day – pre-order these stunners today!
