A flower relay network running since 1946 and built on thousands of partner florists: handy for covering the whole of Switzerland or sending abroad. The bouquet that arrives depends on the florist who fulfils the order.
14 February is the single busiest day of the year for florists. We looked at who really delivers on time in French-speaking Switzerland, what a bouquet of red roses actually costs and which alternatives stand up to comparison.
The red rose remains the symbol of love and it dominates orders at this time of year. Here is how to vary it, or replace it, without losing the message.
The red rose in its most requested formats.
For stepping away from the most in-demand option of the moment.
Choose according to where the bouquet will be handed over.
Details that count just as much as the flowers.
Our ranking for this occasion weighs up three things: speed as 14 February approaches, the quality of the red roses and coverage across French-speaking Switzerland.
Our top pick for 14 February: seasonal bouquets arranged by hand in a workshop in French-speaking Switzerland, express delivery within a few hours in Geneva and Lausanne, then next day elsewhere in the country. Use code FABIEN10 for 10% off.
FABIEN10, 10 % offA flower relay network running since 1946 and built on thousands of partner florists: handy for covering the whole of Switzerland or sending abroad. The bouquet that arrives depends on the florist who fulfils the order.
A long-standing Geneva house, established for close to two centuries, and strong on signature arrangements, weddings and events. The upmarket positioning shows in the budget and the reach is still primarily Geneva.
Another giant of flower relay: a very wide catalogue, worldwide delivery and gift add-ons such as chocolates or balloons. As with any network, the final result varies with the florist who fulfils the order.
A polished local service that handles both the arrangement and the delivery, with a good quality-to-price balance. Coverage is concentrated on the canton of Vaud, so rule it out if the bouquet is heading elsewhere in Switzerland.
The budget option, with artisan bouquets at gentle prices delivered in French-speaking Switzerland. Useful if you are aiming at the lower end of the price range, with a narrower choice of varieties and formats.
Three scenarios come up every year as 14 February approaches. Here is how we would handle them.
You have left it late. Demand peaks during this period: red roses go quickly and slots close. If you are ordering late, settle for a seasonal bouquet in reds and pinks rather than one specific variety, then pick a service able to deliver within a few hours in Geneva or Lausanne.
You are sending flowers to the office. Office delivery goes down well on a weekday, which works nicely for Monday 14 February 2028. Give the floor, the company name and a number that will be answered, and let reception know if access is controlled. A compact format is easier to carry home in the evening.
You want to avoid red roses. The red rose remains the symbol of love, but it is not the only answer. Pastel roses, red tulips, ranunculus or a seasonal bouquet in reds and pinks all play that part, and they take you away from the most sought-after option of the week.
