Orange Roses & Sweet William in Orange Vase

Orange garden roses set the tone for this arrangement, warm and full of quiet energy, while delicate sprays of sweet william add a softer, more textured note alongside them. A little solidaster brings a gentle golden filler through the design, and eucalyptus keeps everything feeling fresh and airy. It all arrives already arranged in a matching orange polymer vase, so there's nothing to style, just a considered thank-you or birthday gift ready to set down and enjoy. Add a few lines of your own on the gift note page at checkout to make it personal.

What is actually in it

This arrangement combines orange garden roses with sweet william, solidaster and eucalyptus, presented in an orange polymer vase roughly 20 cm tall and 8.3 cm wide. The overall arrangement stands 30 to 40 cm. Small tone variations in the orange garden roses are a natural trait of the variety, not a flaw, and stem count can vary slightly with seasonal availability.

What it looks like on day four

Freshly cut roses and sweet william keep changing after they arrive, expect the outer petals to relax and the blooms to open a little wider over the first two to three days. With daily water changes and a fresh trim, this arrangement typically holds its colour and shape for about a week.

We photograph every listing on the bench under daylight. The image you are looking at is the arrangement, not a mood board.

Unwrap the bouquet as soon as it arrives and remove any string. Trim two to three centimetres off each stem at an angle under running water, then strip any leaves that would sit below the waterline. Fill a clean vase with room-temperature water, add the flower food sachet provided, and keep the flowers away from direct sun, heating vents and draughts. Refresh the water every day, trimming the stems by half a centimetre each time, and remove any bloom that starts to fade so the rest stay fresher for longer.

The five things that actually matter

1. Recut the stems. Two centimetres off at a 45° angle, under running water if you can. Air locks in the stem are the main cause of early droop.
2. Strip leaves below the waterline. Submerged foliage rots and turns the water bacterial within a day.
3. Change the water, do not just top it up. Every two days, with the sachet we include.
4. Keep them away from fruit. Ripening fruit releases ethylene, which ages cut flowers dramatically faster.
5. Cool and out of direct sun. A radiator or a sunny windowsill will halve the vase life of anything.

Do all five and you should see nine days from this bouquet rather than five. The long version is in the journal.

Delivery

Same-day delivery is available across all 39 districts of Istanbul, on the same nine daily delivery windows from 09:00 to 22:00. Delivery is always free, on every order, everywhere we deliver in Istanbul, no threshold, no surcharge.

We deliver in our own vans with our own drivers. That is more expensive than handing it to a parcel courier, and it is the reason 98.2% of orders land inside the window you chose.

Substitution policy

Fresh flowers are an agricultural product. Occasionally the market does not have what we planned for, especially with seasonal stems like peonies. When that happens we do one of two things, and never anything else:

• Substitute a stem of equal or greater value in the same colour family, and email you a photograph before dispatch so you can approve it or cancel for a full refund.
• If no acceptable substitute exists, we call you. We will not quietly send something different and hope you do not notice.

Cancellations

Change or cancel free until 18:00 the day before delivery. After that the flowers are cut and conditioned specifically for your order, so cancellation is not possible — this is the perishable-goods exception under distance-selling rules, and it is stated again at checkout before you pay.
