Aurora is Colorado's third-largest city, running from the older blocks along Colfax out to Southlands and the new neighborhoods past E-470, and Rocky Mountain Florist delivers across all of it. Fresh flowers go out Monday through Saturday, with same-day delivery for orders placed by 1 PM Mountain Time.
Flower delivery across Aurora
Aurora is Colorado’s third-largest city, home to nearly 400,000 people across parts of Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties. It stretches more than 20 miles from older neighborhoods along Colfax Avenue to new subdivisions on the eastern plains. We deliver throughout Aurora, including ZIP codes 80010 through 80019, 80045 and 80247, splitting the city across our morning and afternoon routes so the closer neighborhoods and the far east side both get same-day service.
Aurora is big enough that a few details make a real difference: the full address with its directional prefix (East, South), the correct ZIP code, a unit number for apartments, and a recipient phone number. If timing matters, such as a party or a recipient who leaves for work at noon, add that in the delivery notes and we will plan the route around it.
Anschutz Medical Campus deliveries
The Anschutz Medical Campus in north Aurora is home to UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital and Children’s Hospital Colorado, two of the busiest hospitals in the region. Flowers for patients there, from new babies to long hospital stays, are a daily part of our routes. Large hospitals have specific rules, so please:
- Use the patient’s full legal name, the hospital name and the room number or unit.
- Intensive care, transplant, oncology and many pediatric units do not, and some do not allow plants either.
- For a child in the hospital, consider sending flowers to the family’s home or the Ronald McDonald House instead, if the unit does not allow them.
Hospital deliveries go to the main desk or a unit desk, where staff bring them to the patient. HCA HealthONE Aurora (formerly The Medical Center of Aurora), the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center and other hospitals across the city are on our routes too.
Delivering to Aurora homes and apartments
Aurora’s housing ranges from mid-century homes in the north to large apartment communities along I-225 and new master-planned neighborhoods in the southeast. For homes, tell us a shaded, sheltered spot to leave the flowers if no one will be home. The eastern plains get strong afternoon sun and wind, so a covered porch is far better than an open step. In new neighborhoods, a phone number helps our driver find streets that may not be on every map yet.
Southlands, offices and events
Southlands, Aurora’s outdoor shopping and dining district in the southeast, is a favorite spot for birthday dinners and date nights. For a restaurant surprise, call ahead to let the restaurant know, then add the reservation name and time in our delivery notes. Aurora also has large resort and convention venues near the airport, along with office parks and medical buildings across the city. For an event, include the host’s name, the venue, the room and the start time; for an office, include the company, suite and a phone number for the front desk.
Aurora schools and colleges
Aurora's high schools, including Aurora Central, Rangeview, Smoky Hill, Grandview and Eaglecrest, send a steady stream of performance and graduation bouquets through our trucks each spring. We also deliver to the Community College of Aurora, Pickens Technical College and the CU Anschutz campus for commencement and white-coat ceremonies. Deliveries go to the main office or a named department; include the person's full name and the event.
How Aurora celebrates with flowers
- Gaylord Rockies weddings and conventions. Centerpieces and welcome arrangements delivered to the resort's receiving dock or event staff.
- Stanley Marketplace parties. Bright bouquets for showers and birthdays at the converted hangar on the Aurora–Denver line.
- Heather Ridge and Saddle Rock golf events. Tournament and retirement arrangements for the clubhouse.
- Buckley Space Force Base homecomings. A welcome-home bouquet delivered to the family's off-base address.
Aurora's calendar
Global Fest fills the Great Lawn at the Aurora Municipal Center each August, celebrating the dozens of cultures that make Aurora home, and the Holiday Tree Lighting on the same lawn opens our December season. Spring brings Mother's Day and a string of graduations from CU Anschutz, CCA and the high schools. In fall, harvest centerpieces head to the homes in Tallyn's Reach, Saddle Rock and the neighborhoods off Smoky Hill Road.
Flower care on Aurora's open plains
East Aurora gets strong sun and steady wind, and newer homes in Southlands, Tallyn's Reach and Murphy Creek often have tall windows facing the open land. Keep arrangements away from that direct light and from forced-air vents, top up the vase each morning, and recut the stems every two days. If a delivery lands during a summer hailstorm or a spring snow, our drivers will hold the flowers in the van until it passes rather than leave them outside.
Sending to Aurora families and coworkers
Aurora is one of the most diverse cities in Colorado, and the families we deliver to celebrate everything from quinceañeras to Ethiopian New Year in September and Lunar New Year in winter. If an order is for a particular holiday or tradition, mention it in the delivery notes and our designers will keep the occasion in mind. For a Buckley family, a rank or unit in the signature is welcome; for coworkers at the medical campus, add the department so the recipient knows which team sent the flowers, and ask us about a standing order for a nurses' station or break room.
Funeral homes and cemeteries in Aurora
Aurora services are often held at Horan & McConaty's Southeast Denver/Aurora chapel on East Dartmouth, Romero Family Funeral Home on East Iliff, Newcomer's East Metro Chapel on Potomac Street and Advantage Funeral & Cremation. Olinger Eastlawn Cemetery off I-70 handles many burials. Funeral Masses take place at Queen of Peace, St. Pius X and Our Lady of Loreto, and Smoky Hill United Methodist hosts many memorial services. Tell us where and when, and we'll take care of the timing.
Getting across Aurora
Because Aurora covers more than 160 square miles, we split it between two routes: one along Colfax, I-225 and the medical campus, and one down Parker Road and out E-470 to Southlands and the southeast. Order by 1 PM Mountain Time, Monday through Saturday, and your flowers go out that afternoon to any Aurora ZIP code from 80010 to 80019 or 80045. The farthest eastern addresses may arrive toward the end of the route.

Aurora flower delivery FAQ
Can you deliver flowers to UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital or Children's Hospital Colorado?
Yes. Both are on the Anschutz Medical Campus in north Aurora, and we deliver there every delivery day. UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital is at 12605 E. 16th Ave., and Children's Hospital Colorado is at 13123 E. 16th Ave. Use the patient's full legal name, the hospital and the room or unit. Intensive care, transplant, oncology and many pediatric units don't allow flowers, and some don't allow plants, so check first. For a child in the hospital, sending flowers to the family's home or to the Ronald McDonald House is a thoughtful option.
Do you deliver to HCA HealthONE Aurora and the VA hospital in Aurora?
Yes. We deliver to HCA HealthONE Aurora (formerly The Medical Center of Aurora) at 1501 S. Potomac St. and to the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center at 1700 N. Wheeling St. Include the patient's full name and room number. Hospital deliveries go to the main or unit desk, and staff bring them to the room.
Can you set up flowers for a nurses' station or care team in Aurora?
Yes. Thank-you flowers and plants for nurses, doctors and care teams are a regular delivery for us on the Anschutz campus and at Aurora's other hospitals. Address them to the unit and floor, for example "4th Floor Nurses' Station," and a compact, easy-care piece or a live plant works best on a busy desk.
Can you deliver flowers to Gaylord Rockies?
Yes. We deliver to the Gaylord Rockies Resort near Denver International Airport for guests, conferences, weddings and events. For a hotel guest, include the guest's full name and check-in date, and we'll deliver to the front desk. For an event, include the event name, room and contact person.
Do you deliver to Southlands and southeast Aurora?
Yes. We deliver across all of Aurora, from the Anschutz campus and the older neighborhoods along Colfax to Southlands, Saddle Rock, Tallyn's Reach and the newer communities on the eastern edge. For a newer subdivision, add the recipient's phone number in case a map doesn't show the street yet.
Do you deliver sympathy flowers to Aurora funeral homes and churches?
Yes. We deliver to Aurora funeral homes and cemeteries such as Horan & McConaty's Southeast Denver/Aurora chapel, Romero Family Funeral Home, Newcomer's East Metro Chapel and Olinger Eastlawn Cemetery, and to churches including Queen of Peace, St. Pius X and Our Lady of Loreto. Add the name of the person being honored and the service time on the cart page, and we'll have the flowers in place before the service.
Can I get same-day flower delivery in Aurora?
Yes. Order by 1 PM Mountain Time, Monday through Saturday, and Rocky Mountain Florist will design and deliver your flowers in Aurora that day. With a morning route and an afternoon route, same-day orders don't sit around until evening.
Can I still order today for delivery in Aurora?
If it's before 1 PM Mountain Time on a Monday through Saturday, yes. After 1 PM, or on Sunday, we deliver on the next delivery day. Future dates can be scheduled up to 90 days ahead.
How much does flower delivery to Aurora cost?
Delivery is $17.95 per address anywhere in Aurora. Arrangements start at $69.95, and Designer's Creation lets you pick any price from $69.95 to $199.95 and let our designers create something one of a kind.
Do you deliver flowers in Aurora on Sunday?
No. We deliver Monday through Saturday, and we're closed for deliveries on New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day (July 4th), Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and other major holidays. Orders placed on Sunday are delivered Monday, or on any later day you choose.
Can I pick a delivery time for Aurora?
You can tell us a deadline. Note it on the cart page (for a funeral, a party or a surprise) and we'll route around it. Otherwise your flowers go out on our morning or afternoon route.
Is Rocky Mountain Florist a real family-run florist?
Yes, a family flower business serving the Denver metro. Our floral artists design each piece by hand on delivery day, our professional floral drivers bring it to Aurora, and the same designers pick up when you call.
Who answers the phone at Rocky Mountain Florist?
Our designers do. When you call (983) 203-9090 about flowers for Aurora, you're talking with a florist who can help with colors, flowers, size and what suits the occasion.
Are your arrangements one of a kind?
Each one is designed by hand, so no two are exactly alike, and you can ask for something fully custom for your Aurora recipient. Call us with the idea, or use Designer's Creation and let our floral artists decide.
What if I'm short on time for a funeral in Aurora?
Call instead of ordering online: (983) 203-9090. In a floral pinch, a designer can tell you right away what's possible, and with two routes a day we have two chances to get there in time.
Will you leave flowers on the porch in Aurora?
Only if there's a shaded, protected spot. Otherwise we try a neighbor or the building office and leave a note, or we text the recipient and redeliver the next delivery day. We don't leave flowers out in Colorado sun or cold.
How do I know if you deliver to an address in Aurora?
We cover 80010, 80011, 80012, 80013, 80014, 80015, 80016, 80017, 80018, 80019, 80045 and 80247. If the address is not in one of those ZIP codes, or you are not sure, call (983) 203-9090 before you order and a designer will confirm.
How do I keep flowers fresh in Aurora's dry Colorado air?
Colorado's low humidity and high altitude dry flowers faster than at sea level. Top off the vase with fresh water every day, recut the stems at an angle every two or three days, and keep the arrangement away from heater vents, fireplaces and sunny windows. For a gift that lasts for weeks, a live plant or dish garden is a great choice.
Which flowers hold up in Colorado's dry air?
Carnations, alstroemeria, mums, orchids and lilies are the tough ones and often last more than a week in Aurora. Roses and hydrangeas need extra water. Ask our designers to lean toward long-lasting flowers when you call.
I made a mistake on my order. Can you fix it?
Usually, yes. Call (983) 203-9090 before the morning of delivery and we'll update the date, the address or the card message.
Will the flowers go to the patient's room?
Not by us. Hospitals near Aurora have our drivers check in at the front desk or volunteer desk, and staff or volunteers bring the flowers up. Please send the full name and room number, and ask whether the unit allows flowers.
Do you deliver to rehab centers and assisted living in Aurora?
Yes, including rehabilitation, assisted living, long-term care and memory care. Every delivery goes to the front counter, where staff verify the resident and bring the flowers to them. Send the resident's full name and room or apartment number.
What if something about my Aurora order looks wrong?
We call you before we deliver. Flowers usually carry a message that matters, so we verify funeral and service details, follow each hospital's and care facility's procedures, and check anything that seems off. Protecting your intention is part of being a real florist.
How can I confirm the service time before sending funeral flowers to Aurora?
Call the funeral home directly to confirm the date, time and location. Obituary information changes and is sometimes printed wrong. We have great working relationships with funeral homes across the Denver metro, we always verify service details before we deliver, and you can call us at (983) 203-9090 for help.
