This arrangement reads as a practiced study in colour and texture, designed and wrapped with neighbourhood care by Florist Upper Norwood. Deep crimson and wine-toned roses are threaded through with soft lavender and dusty purple blooms, each rose opened to reveal layered, satiny petals that catch light differently across their curves. Lush dark-green foliage - the sturdy, elongated leaves of Ruscus or Salal - gives the composition structural depth and a cool verdant counterpoint to the flowers' warmth. Interspersed among the roses are clusters of vivid red-orange rose hips, their smooth, rounded forms and rustic sheen adding a lively, natural accent that prevents the bouquet from feeling too formal. The blooms are arranged in a rounded, antique-effect mercury glass vase that swells at the base and narrows at the top; its mottled silver finish reflects hints of mauve and crimson, and a short length of natural twine is tied at the neck with a white rectangular tag dangling forward, marked by a delicate floral sketch and ample space for a message. Against a clean white background the colours are crisp and true - the burgundy reads rich and velvety, the lavender soft and cool - while the overall impression is both romantic and quietly luxurious. This is a bouquet I would recommend for anniversaries on quiet streets near Crystal Palace Park, for heartfelt congratulations delivered to Norwood High Street flats, or as an elegant gesture to brighten a bedside table with scent and gentle colour.

A richly hued hand-tied bouquet that reads like a small love letter in florals: deep crimson and velvety burgundy roses sit cheek-by-jowl with soft lavender and dusty lilac roses, each bloom fully opened so their layered petals unfurl like silk. The arrangement is densely rounded, the eye drawn into alternating pockets of warm red and cool mauve, while glossy dark-green foliage - the long, tapered leaves of Ruscus or Salal - tucks in between roses to give weight and a cool, earthy counterpoint. Scattered through the composition are small clusters of bright red-orange rose hips; their firm, glossy skins and slightly rustic texture catch the light and add a playful, seasonal note among the velveteen petals. The bouquet sits in an antique-effect mercury glass vase, rounded at the base and tapering at the neck; its silvered, mottled surface shimmers and reflects the blooms, lending the whole piece an elegant, slightly vintage mood. A natural twine or raffia is tied around the vase's neck, and a neat rectangular white gift tag hangs forward with a simple hand-drawn floral sketch and space for a personal message. Photographed against a clean white background, the colours read bright and true - the reds feel warm and immediate, the lavenders cool and soft - while you can almost smell a faint, classic rose perfume with a green, leafy undernote. This bouquet suggests romance, thoughtful celebration, or a tender expression of sympathy; its balanced colours and tactile contrasts make it equally at home on a kitchen table in a terraced house near Crystal Palace Park or as a refined anniversary gift delivered across Upper Norwood. This hand-gathered bouquet reads like a quiet love letter: a rounded, dome-shaped cluster of ten to fifteen fully opened roses, viewed from a slightly elevated angle so each spiral of petal is visible. The palette balances deep, velvety reds with soft lavender-mauve roses, the reds glowing with classic romance while the lavenders lend a calm, contemporary grace. Between the blooms, glossy dark-green foliage - ruscus or similar leaves - cups the flowers and gives the arrangement a polished, emerald frame. Scattered throughout are small orange-red rose hips that catch the light like tiny jewels, adding a woodland, late-summer note and a contrasting texture against the smooth petals. Near the lower centre a small white gift tag peeks out, the single word "flower" written in playful red script, reminding you this is a personal, thoughtfully prepared gift. The surface of each rose shows tender ridges and soft shadows from gentle, diffused light, and you can almost sense the clean, slightly honeyed scent that ripe roses give off. This bouquet feels intimate and composed - suited to anniversaries, a quiet romantic dinner, or to say 'I'm here' with feeling. As a local Upper Norwood florist would arrange it, the bouquet reads warm and sincere, carrying both celebration and comfort in equal measure. For recipients who appreciate tactile detail and refined colour contrast, this composition offers a calm, heartfelt presence that settles easily into any room or table.

    I knew this was the florist for me when I saw their example bouquets online. And I have to say that the real thing is even more impressive than I could have hoped for. All my flowers will be coming from here from now on.

    Needed a product that I could put on a grave and chose one that was recommended for outdoors. Have been delighted with how long they’ve lasted and how beautiful they look. A fitting remembrance for a dear friend.
