Send flowers to Warwick, Queensland

Warwick sits 477 metres up on the Southern Downs, 130 km south-west of Brisbane, where the Condamine River loops around a town of sandstone churches and a main street, Palmerin Street, laid out on a grid in the 1850s. About 12,300 people live here (2021 census) and the town is the centre of a region of 36,000 spread across farms and small towns within an hour's drive. One thing first: a good share of people searching for a Warwick florist mean Warwick in Victoria or the Perth suburb of the same name. This page is for Warwick, Queensland, postcode 4370, the one with Leslie Park and the rodeo; if the address says VIC or WA, pick the other Warwick in our list of towns.

Suburbs and country addresses we deliver to around Warwick

The town itself is compact, so Rosenthal Heights, Sladevale, Morgan Park, Canningvale, Womina, Allan and Mount Tabor are all on the normal run. Beyond the town boundary the Southern Downs is farming country, and the florist also reaches Allora, 26 km north on the New England Highway, and Killarney, 35 km south-east near Queen Mary Falls, although an address that far out is usually delivered later in the day. Stanthorpe, 60 km south on the Granite Belt, is served by its own florists. For a grazing property, give the property name, say which gate to use and add a mobile number; a driver who cannot raise anyone will ring before leaving flowers in the heat.

Same-day flowers in Warwick and the Queensland clock

Same-day delivery runs Monday to Saturday for orders placed before 2pm on a weekday or 10am on a Saturday, on Warwick's own clock. Queensland keeps standard time all year, so from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April Warwick is an hour behind Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart even though the New South Wales border is only 50 km away. Ordering from the southern states in summer therefore gives you more room: 2pm in Warwick is 3pm on a Sydney phone. From Perth, two hours behind Queensland all year, the cut-off is midday; from Adelaide it is 1.30pm in winter and 2.30pm in summer. There is no Sunday delivery, so a Sunday anniversary is best delivered on Saturday.

Get-well flowers to Warwick Hospital on Locke Street

Warwick Hospital is at 56 Locke Street, Warwick 4370, and takes most of the get-well bouquets in town. Phone the ward before you order, because intensive care and some other wards accept no fresh flowers at all, and tell us the patient's full name and the ward so the delivery does not stall at reception. Patients needing more specialised care are often transferred to Toowoomba, 73 km north, which has its own page. When a discharge is close, send to the home address instead.

Rodeo, roses and jumpers: Warwick's calendar

Warwick's big weekend is the Warwick Rodeo and Gold Cup Campdraft at the Warwick Showgrounds on Kingsford Street each October, the same month as the town's Rose Festival, when the beds in Leslie Park on Fitzroy Street are at their best around the 1923 sandstone war memorial. Jumpers and Jazz in July, running since 2004, wraps the trees along the main streets in knitted covers; the next festival is 15 to 25 July 2027. The Warwick Show is in March. Mother's Day is Sunday 9 May 2027, so bouquets go out on Saturday 8 May with a 10am cut-off; Father's Day is Sunday 5 September 2027; Valentine's Day on 14 February falls in the hottest stretch of the Downs summer, so roses should go where someone can put them straight in water. Anzac Day on 25 April is marked with a sprig of rosemary and a wreath at the dawn service, not a bouquet.

Frost at 477 metres: what lasts in a Warwick vase

Warwick's climate is humid subtropical on paper but the altitude changes things: summers are hot, winters bring regular frost and the town has recorded minus 7.7 degrees, with modest rainfall of around 660 mm a year. For cut flowers this is better news than it sounds. The cool, dry winter air keeps stems fresh for days, and that is the season for proteas, leucadendron, iris, carnations and orchids. Spring brings ranunculus, roses and the first peonies in November; summer is lilies, gerberas, alstroemeria and sunflowers; autumn means chrysanthemums, dahlias and tulips coming back into the buckets. Choose a seasonal bouquet and the Warwick florist uses whatever came in freshest that morning.

Cemeteries, chapels and sympathy flowers in Warwick

Warwick has two council cemeteries: the historic Warwick General Cemetery on Lancaster Street, close to the centre, and the Warwick Lawn Cemetery in Rosenthal Heights on the southern edge of town. Funeral tributes such as a casket spray or wreath are best ordered two to three days ahead through the funeral director or a florist near the chapel. Flowers are never guaranteed to reach the service itself, so give the family's home as a second address; a bouquet sent to the house in the weeks after the funeral is often more welcome than one more arrangement on the day.
