Is it better to send them to the house or to the workplace?
+
It depends entirely on the commute, which in this town is long. If your partner drives to Southpointe or through the tunnel to Downtown, the house is empty from seven until well after six, and in February water in a vase on a step for five hours in the cold will finish the arrangement. Send it to the desk instead, with a floor number, a suite and a mobile number, because a lobby security station is not the destination. If you would rather keep it private, order a hand-over at the house with an evening window, or have a neighbour take it in — on the borough's older streets that is a completely ordinary arrangement.
Why do roses cost more in February, and what will my money buy?
+
The listed arrangements in this selection start at $45.49. Delivery charges, taxes and optional extras are confirmed for the selected florist and recipient before payment.
Can you deliver to an apartment or condo building?
+
Yes, with a unit number — that is the detail that makes or breaks it. The complexes along Washington Pike, the buildings up on the Kirwan Heights side and the ones on Route 19 through Mt. Lebanon and Bethel Park all vary in whether a management office will accept a delivery, and most of those offices close long before a romantic hour. A morning or early-afternoon slot plus a mobile number beats an evening promise. If there is a keypad, a callbox or a gate code, put it in the delivery notes; if the building has a package room, say whether leaving it there is acceptable or whether you would rather it were handed over.
What if I do not want red roses at all?
+
Good — you will get more flower for the money and it will look less like a default. Ask for tulips in late winter, ranunculus and anemones through the cold months, garden roses in cream or blush any time, peonies in the narrow window at the end of May, hydrangea across the summer, dahlias from August into September. A mixed hand-tied with lisianthus, stock and a little eucalyptus photographs better than a straight dozen and lasts about as long. Tell the shop what colours are already in their house — matching a room beats matching a greeting card, and any of the thirteen benches here will build to that if asked.
Can flowers be left outside in winter here?
+
Not safely, from December into March. A glass vase in an unheated porch or vestibule can freeze overnight, and a frozen arrangement is a finished arrangement. The borough's hill streets and the grades toward Kirwan Heights are also among the last to get salted after a storm, so in bad weather expect a wider delivery window rather than a precise minute — a driver working a snow route is not going to hit a fifteen-minute promise and it is better to say so than to pretend. Ask for a hand-over, give us a mobile number, and if nobody will be home, choose a different day or a workplace address.
I live out of state. Can I send romance flowers into Bridgeville?
+
Yes, and it is a common order on this grid. Enter the recipient's Bridgeville address and the closest shop of the thirteen takes it — for a borough address that is usually Flowers Tudiopa on Washington Pike, Wallacebethelpark Flower on Library Rd or Dormont Florist on West Liberty Ave. Two things help from a distance: a mobile number for the recipient, since you cannot check from a distance whether anyone is home, and a note about the building type, because 15017 covers both tight borough streets and township cul-de-sacs with no porch. You get an email confirmation when it is delivered, and the hand-written card is free.
