Love Romance flowers in Fordham

Love-and-romance sends in Fordham run to the classic gestures — the long-stem red-rose bouquet delivered as a surprise. The most common send here is straight to the home: a dozen or two dozen red roses to a Belmont, Bedford Park, or Fordham Manor apartment, timed for when the recipient is in so it is a real surprise rather than a box left with a neighbor. Fordham University Rose Hill (441 E Fordham Road, 10458) adds a younger romance angle — students sending roses to a partner's residence hall, delivered to the front desk with the recipient texted to come down. And the neighborhood's workplaces along the Fordham Road corridor take date-night sends, a bouquet dropped at a desk or reception with the recipient's name for a valentine or just-because romantic gesture. A Fordham romance send benefits from a florist who can time the drop to the surprise and knows the walk-up-versus-front-desk reality of the residential and campus blocks.
