Shipping Info
- Free US shipping on every order.
- Ships FedEx Priority Overnight for next-day delivery.
- Pick your delivery date on the calendar when you add Effie to your cart. The calendar shows the next available date.
- Delivery is available Tuesday through Saturday. We recommend Tuesday–Thursday, since Friday and Saturday arrivals are more likely to hit weekend carrier delays.
- Schedule delivery so the roses arrive 3–4 days before your event. They ship in bud and need that long in water to open.
- Roses arrive boxed and unarranged, with no signature required, so plan to have someone there to unpack and hydrate them right away.
Care and Processing Instructions
- Unbox your roses as soon as they arrive. Leave the protective cardboard or paper sleeve on for the first hydration; it supports the heads while the stems drink.
- Fill a clean bucket or vase with a few inches of water.
- Strip any foliage that would sit below the water line.
- Cut about 1 inch off each stem at an angle with floral shears or a sharp knife.
- Place the stems in water indoors, in a cool spot away from heaters, air conditioning drafts, and direct sunlight.
- Let the roses hydrate for 6–24 hours before removing the sleeve.
- Once unwrapped, gently peel away the outer guard petals. They're thicker than the rest and often show some green near the base.
- Allow 3–4 days for the blooms to open. A warmer room speeds opening; a cooler one slows it down.
