- 1). Check online for your local florist, and see if roses are in-stock. If there isn't a facility online to check stock, give the florist a call. Ask if they use a national delivery service capable of sending flowers to England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. If what you requested is available, pay a visit to the florist and check if the roses look like what is advertised online. Some florists give you the option to add extras like cards, decorations for the flowers or even chocolates; you can choose extras if required.
- 2). If you prefer, you can opt to order online and send your roses through an online florist. Interflora.co.uk, Onlyflorist.co.uk and 321flowers.co.uk are options for sending roses online. If you decide to use the online service, check if the company delivers roses throughout the U.K. Before making a decision, check online for customer reviews.
- 3). Decide if you want to send a small bunch of roses or an arrangement that comes with a vase. A vase will be available in different designs and colors. Choose what you would like to say on a message. A lot of florists provide you with a greeting card in which you can write a small note. If you cannot think of anything to write, some florists can provide you with a ready written message.
- 4). Provide the florist with the address of the recipient. For an online order, the website will request the address. Make sure you give the correct postal code so there are no problems with delivery. If the recipient spends a lot of time at work, it might be a good idea to send the roses to his or her work address, if you have the delivery details available. In the U.K., you will be charged 20 percent VAT on roses and for delivery.
