Our recommendation is KANEL, whose bouquets are composed by hand on the day of delivery and sent anywhere in Switzerland for CHF 14.90 (order before 4pm, Tuesday to Saturday). In Geneva, KANEL also delivers the same day for orders before 2pm.
Conditions and prices were checked on florists’ websites in October 2026.

KANEL
KANEL composes its bouquets by hand on the day of delivery, in its own workshop near Geneva, which means you get a consistent, well-made bouquet rather than a network interpretation. Its collections change with the seasons, and roses feature in many of them; pick the bouquet whose photo matches what you have in mind.
- Seasonal bouquets CHF 74.90 / 94.90 / 124.90; timeless collection from CHF 64.90.
- Delivery: CHF 14.90 across Switzerland, next day Tuesday to Saturday; CHF 9.90–19.90 in Geneva, same day before 2pm.
- Add-ons for a romantic gesture: champagne CHF 64.90, chocolates CHF 29.90 / 49.90, LOVEBOX KANEL CHF 39.90.
- Trustpilot 4.8/5 (169 reviews, 91 % five stars).
What KANEL is not: a dedicated “number of roses” shop. If you want exactly 50 or 100 red roses, ask a local florist. Read our KANEL review.
Choosing the colour
| Colour | Traditional meaning | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Passionate love | A partner |
| Pink | Tenderness, gratitude, admiration | Mother, friend, thank-you |
| White | Respect, purity, new beginnings | Wedding, sympathy, apology |
| Yellow | Friendship, joy | Friends, colleagues, birthdays |
| Orange | Enthusiasm, energy | Congratulations |
| Peach / apricot | Sympathy, gentleness | Thank-you, get well |
These meanings are traditions, not strict rules. More detail in our guide to rose meanings by colour and number.
How many roses?
Tradition attaches messages to some numbers: one rose for love at first sight or “you’re the one”, three for “I love you”, twelve (a dozen) for a declaration of love. In some Eastern European traditions, even numbers are associated with funerals, so odd numbers are preferred for gifts. None of this is a rule in Switzerland; it is simply a nice nod if the recipient knows the code. See our rose meaning guide.
Roses for every occasion
- Valentine’s Day: red roses, of course. In 2027, 14 February is a Sunday, so plan for Saturday 13 February. See our Valentine’s Day guide.
- Mother’s Day: pink roses (Sunday 9 May 2027, deliver on Saturday 8 May). See our Mother’s Day guide.
- Birthday: yellow, orange or mixed roses. See birthday flowers.
- Anniversary: red or deep pink.
- Sympathy: white roses; see our funeral flowers guide.
- Apology: white or soft pink, with a sincere card.
Roses and sustainability: Fairtrade and season
Most cut roses sold in Europe in winter are grown in large greenhouses or imported from countries with warmer climates. If this matters to you:
- Fairtrade roses: Fairtrade-certified roses are available in Switzerland, mainly through retailers. Look for the label, or ask the florist whether their roses are certified.
- Swiss garden roses: in summer, some florists offer local roses with a more natural look and scent.
- Seasonal bouquets: letting the florist choose often means fresher, more local flowers.
We do not have published information on where KANEL sources its flowers, so we make no claims about it. Our article on sustainable flowers in Switzerland goes further.

Making roses last
- Cut 2–3 cm off the stems at an angle with a clean knife.
- Remove leaves below the water line.
- Use a clean vase and fresh, cool water; change it every two days.
- Keep the roses away from radiators, direct sun and ripening fruit.
- If a rose head droops, re-cut the stem and place it in deep water.
