Sydney, April 29: Mr Roses, under the visionary leadership of James Stevens, is revolutionizing the way Australians send and receive flowers.
Launching an affordable AM delivery service, Mr Roses ensures that stunning signature bouquets reach recipients before 1 PM for just $16.95, transforming how people celebrate special moments from morning till night.
This innovative service, available in major cities like Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, and Sydney, allows orders placed by 3 PM the previous day to be delivered the next morning, providing freshness and surprise without the premium cost typically associated with early deliveries.
Additional services include same-day delivery in select cities and next-business-day regional deliveries, enhancing accessibility and convenience for customers across Australia.
Simultaneously, Stevens is stepping up to debunk a popular but misleading TikTok hack that suggests adding bleach to rose water for longevity.
Stevens, an esteemed connoisseur with lifelong experience, advocates for proper floral care, emphasizing that true beauty and longevity of roses come from fundamental floristry practices rather than quick fixes.

With Mother’s Day approaching, Mr Roses is gearing up to handle approximately 1,000 stems daily, sourced from top growers in Kenya, Ecuador, and Colombia.
For Mother’s Day, the most popular choices are not just the classic red roses but also pink roses, pink oriental lilies, and tulips, reflecting a palette that is both vibrant and tender.
When asked about the lack of scent in many commercial roses, Stevens explains, “Glasshouse grown. Commercially grown roses are not garden roses. Garden roses do not last but smell amazing. Granted. But glasshouse roses look amazing and you can have the consistency of roses in a vase for a lot longer. At least a week of additional vase life. There are certain glasshouse varieties that do have a subtle scent.”
Addressing the trend of drying roses, Stevens offers a candid piece of advice: “Throw them out is what I say…really. You don’t want to keep dry roses. Even those new everlasting-type roses. What is given by a romantic who only wants to buy you roses once?”
