When it comes time to shop for a gift for your beloved, your bestie or another special giftee, you can never go wrong with a rose gift. Maybe you're shopping for a romantic or a special occasion, like an anniversary or birthday. Perhaps you need something for the winter holidays or for Mother's Day—or maybe you want to treat your darling to a special "just because" gift. A bouquet of flowers, particularly roses, always stands out as a classic, timeless and thoughtful gift.
But you shouldn't feel limited to fresh blooms alone if you're inspired to give a rose-related present. There are plenty of rose-themed gifts you can choose that aren't flowers themselves, but offer the same special sentiment as a bouquet. If you're shopping for a rose flower gift, you've come to the right place. We've rounded up the top rose bouquets and rose gift ideas for every occasion.

Rose Gift Meaning
Everyone knows red roses symbolize romance, but there's more to this special flower that meets the eye. Roses come in a variety of colors, each with their own unique meaning. Pink means admiration and joy, white symbolizes innocence and yellow represents friendship. Of course, when shopping for roses, you shouldn't feel limited by each color's symbol and can feel free to buy the color you think your recipient will love most.
Additionally, each anniversary year has its own anniversary flower to symbolize the occasion, and roses represent a variety of anniversaries. Roses represent the 15th anniversary, coral roses represent the 35th and yellow roses represent the 50th. Consider a special bouquet for one of these anniversaries.
Every month also has its own birth flower, and roses correspond with June birthdays. If you're getting someone a special birthday gift in the month of June, consider a beautiful rose gift to celebrate another year.
The Best Rose Gifts
From classic red rose gifts, to shimmery floral jewelry, to edible treats and everything in between, we've rounded up the best rose gift ideas for your partner, family and friends. For those shopping from afar, many of these bouquets can be sent from a distance as a special surprise. Or, if you're shopping for a gift inspired by flowers, but perhaps not quite a bouquet, we've also included rose-inspired gifts that can be packaged up with love. No matter who you're shopping for, you're bound to find a rose that calls their name.
