Please select the best option that meets your needs.


We try our best to get your order delivered on the chosen delivery date and time, however as our delivery is carried out by a third party delivery service and there are external circumstances (such as traffic, accidents and breakdowns) that impact their ability to deliver, we cannot guarantee delivery. If there are any issues about when or how your gift was delivered, please email our team at florists@thewildrose.co.nz to discuss this with our team.



  • Can i track my order?

You will be able to click on the tracking link within that to see your delivery information.


If you haven't received your link, please call our team on 09 262 2509 and our team can update you on its status.


  • I Entered The Wrong Delivery Address, Can I Change It?

We totally understand that accidents happen. Please ring our store on 09 262 2509 as soon as you can and let us know the correct address and we'll update this for you.

  • Can You Deliver To PO Boxes, Apartments And Rural Addresses?


We can deliver to Rural Addresses, however as these take an extra 1-3 days to arrive we do not recommend sending perishable items such as fresh flowers. If you do want to send fresh flowers to a rural address, we can accomodate however we don't take responsibility if these don't arrive as fresh and beautiful as they should. 
Some flowers such as lilies travel better than others, so if you're wanting to send fresh flowers to a rural address please call 09 262 2509 and discuss what options are best suited for you. 

Unfortunately, we are unable to deliver to PO Boxes and Apartments due to them having limited access and being unsafe to leave. If there is easy access for a courier and details are provided this could be an option but please call us prior to placing your order.



  • Why didn't my order arrive on the date i selected?

As we use a third party courier company for both our Nationwide Delivery and Auckland Same Day Delivery, we can never 100% guarantee your delivery date, however we ensure the timing on our end as much as possible to give your parcel the best chance of arriving on your selected date. 

For Nationwide, Overnight Delivery, your parcel is picked up from our store the day prior to your Delivery Date and sent on an Overnight Service.

For Auckland Same Day Delivery, your parcel is picked up from our store that same day, to arrive to your address in the time frame selected at checkout.

Unfortunately ordering in advance has no impact on whether your order arrives in time, as we always send the orders out with the same process as above. Sending out orders too early could result in the parcel arriving too early for the special day.

If your order hasn't arrived, please call our team on 09 262 2509 and our friendly team will investigate this with our courier partners. 

  • what happens if the recipient isn't home?

If the recipient isn’t at home, a few things could happen:
1. The courier will leave the goods at the front or back door if the recipient isn't home and if there is a safe place to do so.
2. If the driver is unable to leave the package, we are generally notified and we will contact you to arrange re-delivery or the gift will be sent back to us.  

Please provide the recipients phone number and delivery instructions to make sure the delivery driver has the best chance possible to deliver the gift successfully. 

  • How long do fresh flowers last?

How long flowers last depends on how well the flowers are cared for. If the flower stems are re-cut by the recipient and are placed in to fresh water, with water changes every couple of days, the flowers should stay beautiful for 5 days, and some will stay lovely for longer. Our dried flowers will stay beautiful for a life time if well cared for.


To get the most out of your fresh flowers we recommend that you:

- trim your stems on an angle an re-trim every few days

- keep any foliage (leaves) out of the water

- keep the flowers in a cool - room temperature place as excess heat will cause them to wilt

- pop them in a clean vase and continue to change the water regularly


  • How long do dried flowers last?

Our dried flowers will last a life time if well cared for. To maintain their beauty keep them away from water and lightly and direct sunlight. To clean simply lightly dust the flowers, ensuring to be delicate as the flowers are very fragile.
