A red rose is the classic romantic flower, called upon by lovers across the centuries to evoke romance and intrigue. A whole language has blossomed around it with dahlias symbolising commitment, red tulips a sign of true love and carnations meaning love and fascination. Giving flowers is steeped in history. Humans giving other humans flowers is just something we do to say ‘I like you’ or at least ‘I tolerate you’. 

Flowers never go out of fashion, and it’s a practice we heartily encourage to remedy the anxieties of modern life - as well as improve your home environment. A well-chosen bouquet is sure to make a bloomin’ brilliant gift in an otherwise dreary month spent indoors, and there’s plenty of choice for all budgets.

Best supermarket flowers

In recent years, we’ve noticed a flurry of cheap flowers gracing the online shelves - a major perk this year as you can add them to your grocery shop (although you’ll need a bit of stealth if you live with your partner). Tesco flowers are in-store only, but you can shop Sainsbury’s flowers and Morrison’s flowers online. Waitrose and Marks & Spencer come out top for us. There’s a wide variety of Waitrose flowers online, with same day delivery available. You’ll get the most choice with Marks & Spencer flowers: from bright spring bouquets to a coral meadow bouquet - all with quick and free delivery.
