FAQ Peonies

Once we've finished putting together your peony arrangement, we'll send you a photo of the exact bouquet you ordered before it leaves our shop. This lets you see the arrangement before it gets delivered!
Absolutely — we believe a note is one of the best ways to make your arrangement more personal to the recipient! Once you've selected the perfect peony arrangement, you'll have the option of writing any message you desire on one of our specially designed Ode à la Rose cards. You can also upload a photo, which we'll print on glossy paper and attach with your note and bouquet.

We also have a variety of add-on items to include with your order, such as a vase, scented candle, blanket, spa kit, or chocolate bar!

We have multiple types of peonies available at Ode à la Rose, ranging in hues from cream to soft pink to brilliant orange or coral. Our arrangements feature varieties like Sarah Bernhardt, Coral Charm, and more. Peonies only tend to be in season for a short period, about late April to mid-June, so there's more limited availability for this type of bloom compared to others.

However, we're working on sourcing some Alaskan peonies to extend our selection and availability. Alaska supplies fresh-cut peonies from July into early September. Once again, you can contact us directly to find out exactly what peonies are available and when you can order them.
To ensure the highest-quality peonies for our customers, we obtain our flowers during their peak growing seasons from some of the best eco-friendly farms in Holland, Chile, and the U.S. Which country we source our peonies from depends on the time of year as there are different growing seasons and we go based on what will give us the highest quality flowers.
Whether you're buying pink peonies or white peonies, it’s important to take steps to maximize their health and lifespan the moment they arrive. Most experts recommend trimming an inch or half-inch off the stem of each flower at a diagonal, then placing your peonies in a glass vase with about four inches worth of water.

Since peonies will often arrive looking rather limp, it’s a good idea to wrap the flowers in paper — the paper wrapping they come in at delivery is fine — for their first few hours of hydration. After that, keep an eye on the water and replenish it to make sure your peonies are getting plenty of water. Every two or three days, trim another half inch off the stems and clean or replace the vase. You should also trim any foliage that falls beneath the water line in the vase, to make sure no water is going to waste.
Peonies are traditionally seen as spring/early summertime flowers in the United States. In the months of May and June, they can grow and blossom in virtually any part of the U.S. To find out about our peonies' availability at Ode à la Rose, contact us directly.
The answer to this question will vary depending on the variety you buy and the level of care you can give to them. Our pink peonies tend to last longer than our coral peonies. Overall, peonies don't last as long as roses but you can expect them to last 4-5 days with proper care.

Nope! When we started out, we focused on rose bouquets and offered only premium rose arrangements. As we grew and developed a loyal client base, we wanted to expand our offerings and switch things up. Now we offer amazing seasonal flowers like peonies, tulips and ranunculus, as well as bouquets with an assorted arrangement of blooms. We'll always keep our dear collection of classic rose bouquets, but we're always looking for new ways to please our flower-lovers

All of our bouquets are prepared in our local workshops in NYC, Chicago, LA, Austin, Miami, or Washington DC by our specially trained florists. Each of our florists have mastered the French method of rounded, hand-tied bouquets. You'll find your design finished with a natural raffia tie - we recommend leaving this in tact so your bouquet holds its shape!

No, but vases are available to add on with your order at checkout! Some of our arrangements do come with a vase included like our petite rose bouquets in the small jar, and our grand rose bouquets. In these cases, we clearly state that the vase is included in the product description. If you see a vase available to add, that means the vase is not included. All of our arrangements do come in water - we use a water-filled recyclable container nestled in your gift box so stems stay hydrated

Absolutely - the note is one of the most important parts! After you have selected your favorite bouquet, you will be given the opportunity to write a few words on our specially designed Ode à la Rose cards. You can also choose to upload a favorite photograph, which we will print out on glossy paper and include with your note.

All our bouquets automatically have a "signature release," which means that our bouquets can be dropped off without requiring a signature. In most cases, the delivery driver will knock or ring the bell, and if there is no answer we will leave the product somewhere safe at the delivery location. Please be sure to include your recipient's phone number in your order so that we may contact them with any questions during delivery (but don't worry, we won't call in advance and ruin the surprise!).

Please contact our customer service team ([email protected]) as quickly as possible so that your changes can be taken into account before delivery. Please include your order number to help our staff process your request as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, we technically need 24 hours to update order details - however, we'll do everything we can to make changes before delivery!

This depends on what you'd like to customize! Give us a call or send us an email at [email protected] to learn more.

Our bouquets are hand-designed with raffia and wrapped in kraft paper for a true Parisian experience.

Your arrangement will arrive in our signature pink gift box - safe and sound for your recipient to enjoy!
