Spell of Love Delivery - Deep Red Passion at Your Door

There are many red roses, but few like these. The Spell of Love bouquet is centered around the Tess variety from the David Austin roses collection, and you can tell right away: in the depth of the color, the fullness of the petals, and the unmistakable fragrance.

Tess features a deep crimson hue, a rosette shape with dozens of petals, and a character that is hard to describe in words but impossible to forget.

Spell of Love is created for those who truly love beauty: for anniversaries and special occasions, for evenings meant to be remembered, for people who appreciate beauty in the details. Order red rose delivery through Rosaholics, and the bouquet will arrive fresh straight from the farm.

Tess Rose - The Heart of the Spell of Love

Tess garden rose is one of the most recognizable roses in the David Austin roses collection. It is distinguished by a rich blood-red hue with warm raspberry undertones, a dense rosette shape, and incredibly full petals. When the bud opens, our florists say it resembles an antique painting. That’s because every flower is like a work of art.

This is exactly why Tess rose is so beloved by florists at weddings and luxury events. It fits perfectly into formal bridal bouquets (imagine this accent color), table arrangements, and gift bouquets, where every detail matters. The deep, rich color looks stunning both in a single-variety bouquet and in complex, multicolored arrangements.

At Rosaholics, we work directly with farms to ensure that your David Austin rose bouquet arrives in perfect condition. The roses are cut while still in bud and packed in special humidified boxes. This is how we can guarantee that you’ll receive fresh, vibrant flowers.

Important note: Tess garden rose is a seasonal variety with limited availability. If you’re planning a gift for a specific date, we recommend buying David Austin roses in advance to ensure you receive the variety you want.

From Bud to Bloom - Tess Rose Specifications

Here’s what you can expect when your Tess roses arrive at your home:

Tess’s rich fragrance fills the room within the first few hours after unpacking - this is one of the reasons why a dark red rose bouquet of this variety is so highly valued as a gift. And thanks to a vase life of up to 12 days, you’ll be able to enjoy the bouquet not just for one evening, but for nearly two weeks.

When to Gift a Dark Red Rose Bouquet

A dark red rose bouquet is a symbol that speaks volumes without words. In floral symbolism, the dark red color signifies deep affection, passion, unconditional devotion, and bold emotions. This is not a casual flirtation, but a serious declaration.

And we, better than anyone else, know the best occasions to give the Spell of Love bouquet:

• Valentine’s Day and relationship anniversaries

• A marriage proposal

• A romantic dinner or a surprise

• The birthday of the person you truly love

If you want to create maximum impact, our florists recommend pairing Tess rose with dark berries, burgundy eucalyptus foliage, or contrasting cream-white accents - this creates depth and volume.

Caring for your roses correctly can ensure a super long vase life.

Have you seen our Flower Care Tutorial Video?! It's full of great tips. Here's a breakdown:

1. Gather your tools. You’ll need a pair of scissors (or sharp knife), waste bin, clean water, and a vase.

2. Open the box and carefully remove the bunch, leaving the protective cardboard sleeve on. We put an incredible amount of care into packing your roses so that they make the trip safe and sound. Each bunch is carefully secured within this sleeve so that there’s no jostling or bumping around, which could cause petal bruising.

3. Trim the stems about 1/2 inch from the bottom at a 45-degree angle, and hydrate for 20 minutes. When your flowers first arrive, it’s important to get them hydrated as soon as possible, so you can leave the cardboard on for this part. It’s natural for stems to begin to harden as a defense from being cut away from the rosebush. Trimming the stems immediately revitalizes the flower’s ability to draw in water, which will help preserve the visual freshness of each bloom.

Water is essential for roses to keep their petals looking luscious and strong, and trimming at an angle can help them absorb water faster. It’s completely natural for roses to lose some of their moisture during transit, so don’t worry if your flowers aren’t quite ready for photos when they first arrive! Thirsty flowers can regain their form with a little quality hydration.

4. Carefully remove the cardboard. Woo-hoo! Finally, a glimpse of the beautiful blooms! But we’re not done yet…

5. Remove damaged petals. Guard petals protect the rose and may be bruised. In rare occasions, tiny brown spots (botrytis) may be present on exterior petals. For longer-lasting roses, pluck off bruised or damaged petals to reveal a perfect, healthy bloom.

6. Fill the vase with fresh water, and add nutrients. We can’t stress this part enough – clear, fresh water is absolutely essential for fresh roses to live a long life. In addition to providing fresh water with flower food from the get-go, it’s best to change the water every 2-3 days to prolong the life of your roses.

7. Double-check to make sure all stems are freshly trimmed, and remove any low-hanging leaves that may come into contact with the vase water. Almost there!

8. Arrange your masterpiece. Here’s where the magic happens! Get inspiration from our social media pages for making beautiful floral arrangements with your own personal touch.

EXTRA TIPS FOR A LONG VASE LIFE

- Keep your bouquet at cool room temperature and out of direct sunlight.

- Change the water frequently; every 2 days is best!

- Never grab flowers by the petals when arranging your bouquet. Instead, gently grab flowers by the stem, which is more supportive.
