Flowers for Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, with a festive meal, apples dipped in honey for a sweet year, and flowers for the table.

The next one begins on the evening of Friday 1 October 2027.

Order by 11:00 on Friday 1 October 2027 and the van brings them that day.

Chosen to go with the flowers, and added to the same basket.

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. It lasts two days and begins at sundown, with a festive meal at which apples are dipped in honey for a sweet year ahead, and a round challah on the table. People wish each other a good and sweet new year, and flowers are a welcome gift for the hosts.

White is the colour of the High Holy Days, so white flowers suit the table, and honey-coloured candles are a nod to the apples and honey. If the family keeps the festival, have the flowers arrive before it begins.

Questions we are asked

›When is Rosh Hashanah?

The next Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Friday 1 October 2027 and ends on Sunday 3 October 2027.

›Is it all right to send flowers for Rosh Hashanah?

Yes. Flowers are a common gift for the hosts of the festive meal, sent with wishes for a good and sweet new year.

›When should the flowers arrive?

Before the festival begins at sundown. Many observant households take no deliveries during the festival or on the Sabbath, so the order-by line on this page keeps clear of both.
