It’s always best to check ahead of Valentine's Day to find out exact cut of times for ordering at your preferred place is.

Which retailers offer next-day flower delivery? 

Most e-florists and online retailers offer a next-day delivery service.

Plenty of high street and supermarket chains like M&S and Morrisons also provide a next day delivery services.

The express service usually comes with a pricier delivery charge though, so always check costs beforehand.

Are flowers more expensive on Valentine's Day?

We wouldn’t say so, no.

Most places now offer both affordable and luxury bouquet options.

If anything, on Valentine’s Day there are often deals and special offers available for selected roses and flower bouquets in order for retailers to shift as much stock as possible.

One thing to note is, unless you have paid extra to secured delivery for a specific date, you could run the risk of your flowers arriving after Valentine’s Day.

It always best to check dispatch times and last order estimates on the website you’re buying from.

How much is a single rose on Valentine's Day?

If you're buying online, a single red rose can really vary in price, and it can be a quite expensive option.

Post-a-rose will cost you £20, and Appleyard Flowers single rose in a vase costs from £21.99 and the brand's Forever Rose costs from £39.99 but can last up to a year.

We'd recommend you buy a cheaper bouquet and use a rose from that if you want to send a single rose.

How many red roses should I buy for Valentine's Day?

It's completely up to you, but traditionally it's a dozen Red Roses on Valentine's Day.

Of course, if you want to really treat your other half then 24 red roses, 50 or even 100 are sure to make a splash.

What happens if you're not happy with your flowers?

If the flowers you've ordered online arrive in a sorry state, there might be something you can do about it.

Consumer group Which? advises you take the following steps to get a refund:

• Take a picture as evidence of poor condition or damage to your flowers as this will help  support your complaint.
• If a loved one or friend has sent you flowers that have arrived in a poor condition or late, make sure you tell them. Otherwise the retailer may say they can’t access the order information and won’t resolve the problem.
• If you order a specific number of flowers but fewer than this amount are delivered to you, you’re entitled to a partial refund for the missing flowers.
