Golden sits right where the plains meet the foothills, between North and South Table Mountain and Lookout Mountain, and Rocky Mountain Florist makes the drive out on every delivery day. Order by 1 PM Mountain Time, Monday through Saturday, and fresh flowers can reach any Golden address that afternoon.
Flower delivery in Golden
Golden is the Jefferson County seat, a city of about 20,000 people at the mouth of Clear Creek Canyon, where the plains end and the mountains begin. It is home to the Colorado School of Mines, a busy historic downtown on Washington Avenue and neighborhoods that run up the slopes toward Lookout Mountain and the mesas. We deliver throughout the city, including ZIP codes 80401 and 80403, on our west-side routes.
Golden’s terrain shapes our deliveries. Some streets are steep, some homes sit up long driveways, and a few neighborhoods in the hills have narrow roads that are slow going in snow. A recipient phone number and a note about the best entrance help our driver every time, and for winter deliveries in the hills, ordering a day ahead gives us room to work around the weather.
Downtown Golden and Washington Avenue
Washington Avenue is lined with restaurants, shops, galleries and offices, and it is one of the most popular places in the west metro for birthday dinners, anniversaries and celebrations with visiting family. To have flowers waiting at a restaurant, call ahead to let them know, then add the reservation name and time in our delivery notes. For shops and offices downtown, include the business name, the recipient’s full name and a phone number. Downtown also hosts weddings and receptions at several event spaces; include the event name, the host’s name and the start time so we can coordinate with the venue.
Colorado School of Mines deliveries
Flowers for Mines students and staff are a steady part of our Golden routes: birthdays, good-luck bouquets before finals, congratulations at graduation, and thank-yous for professors and advisors. Residence halls and campus offices usually accept flowers at a front desk or mail center rather than at a dorm room door, so include the student’s full name, the building and room number, and a phone number. Commencement weeks in May and December are our busiest times on campus, so order early and include the ceremony date.
Delivering to Golden homes
Golden’s neighborhoods range from historic homes near downtown to newer subdivisions on the city’s north and south ends and homes tucked into the hillsides. If the recipient may be away, tell us a shaded, sheltered spot to leave the flowers. Wind can funnel down the canyon and across the mesas in the afternoon, so a covered porch or a spot beside the garage is much better than an open front step. Deer and other wildlife roam many Golden neighborhoods, too, so ask the recipient to bring flowers and plants inside promptly.
Office deliveries
Golden has a strong business community, from offices downtown to research and technical employers around the city. We deliver birthday and work-anniversary arrangements, congratulations flowers, client thank-yous and weekly reception arrangements. Include the company name, the recipient’s full name, the suite number and a phone number for the front desk. For an office that closes early on Fridays, let us know so we can schedule the delivery on our morning route.
Golden's care, school and senior-living deliveries
Golden doesn't have a full hospital, so most residents go to Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital at Clear Creek Crossing or CommonSpirit St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, and we deliver to both. In town, we bring flowers to Golden Pond Retirement Community on North Ford Street, Golden Lodge Assisted Living & Memory Care and Parkview Villas. Golden High School's front office receives bouquets for performances, banquets and the Demons' graduation each spring; include the student's full name and the event.
Golden orders we love
- Fossil Trace Golf Club weddings. Centerpieces and a welcome piece for receptions overlooking the old clay pits.
- Table Mountain Inn and The Golden Hotel guests. A bouquet waiting at the front desk for visitors in town for a Mines graduation or a wedding.
- American Mountaineering Center events. Arrangements with an alpine feel for talks and fundraisers.
- Clear Creek picnics. Compact, sturdy flowers for a gathering in Parfet Park or along the creek path.
Golden through the seasons
Buffalo Bill Days takes over downtown each July, and Colorado School of Mines commencement brings a burst of bouquet orders in May and December. Fall color on Lookout Mountain draws visitors, and the Olde Golden Candlelight Walk and Holiday Parade in December lights up Washington Avenue as we deliver wreaths and winter centerpieces around town.
Flowers at the foot of the mountains
Golden gets more wind than most of the metro, especially along Highway 93 and up on the mesas, and chinook gusts in winter can be hard on flowers left outside. Our drivers won't leave an arrangement on an exposed porch; if no one is home, we'll find a sheltered spot or come back. Indoors, keep flowers out of the path of a wood stove or fireplace, refresh the water daily and recut the stems every few days.
Sending to Golden workplaces
Golden's big employers include Molson Coors, the National Laboratory of the Rockies (formerly NREL), Colorado School of Mines, Spyderco and Yeti Cycles. The lab and the brewery have security check-ins, so flowers go to a visitor or receiving desk; include the building and a phone number. For smaller companies downtown, a delivery addressed to the person and the business name is all we need.
Funeral flowers in Golden
Foothills Cremation & Funeral Service on Ford Street handles many Golden services. Historic Golden Cemetery is listed on the National and State Registers, and churches such as St. Joseph Catholic on Ulysses Street, historic Calvary Episcopal and First Presbyterian of Golden host memorial services. We deliver to each; share the location and time and we'll arrive ahead of the family.
Golden routes
Golden is the western end of our west route, reached by 6th Avenue, Highway 58 and Highway 93. Same-day orders placed by 1 PM Mountain Time, Monday through Saturday, reach 80401 and 80403 that afternoon, and we also deliver to 80419 and the Golden side of Applewood. Homes far up Golden Gate Canyon Road may need an earlier order; we'll let you know if an address is beyond our usual run.

Golden flower delivery FAQ
Which hospital should I send flowers to for a Golden patient?
Golden doesn't have a full hospital. Most Golden patients go to Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital at Clear Creek Crossing, 12911 W. 40th Ave. in Wheat Ridge, or CommonSpirit St. Anthony Hospital, 11600 W. 2nd Pl. in Lakewood, and we deliver to both every delivery day. Include the patient's full name and room number, and check first whether the unit allows flowers.
Can you deliver flowers to a Colorado School of Mines student?
Yes. For students in a residence hall, deliveries go to the hall's front desk or mail center, so include the student's full name, hall, room number and phone number. For faculty and staff, include the department and building. Graduation week in May and Parents' Weekend are busy, so order a few days ahead.
Can you deliver flowers to a guest at Table Mountain Inn or The Golden Hotel?
Yes. Use the guest's full name exactly as it appears on the reservation and add the check-in date, and we'll ask the front desk to hold the flowers until the guest arrives.
Can you deliver to the National Laboratory of the Rockies or Molson Coors in Golden?
Yes. Large campuses like these route deliveries through a front desk, lobby or security office. Include the recipient's full name, building and department, and a phone number, and order for a weekday.
Do you deliver sympathy flowers to funeral homes in Golden?
Yes. Foothills Cremation & Funeral Service at 1418 Ford St. handles many Golden services, and we also deliver to Golden churches such as St. Joseph Catholic, Calvary Episcopal and First Presbyterian of Golden, and to nearby chapels such as Olinger Crown Hill in Wheat Ridge. Add the name of the person being honored and the service time, and we'll arrive ahead of the family.
Do you deliver to senior living communities in Golden?
Yes. We deliver to Golden Pond Retirement Community at 1270 N. Ford St., Golden Lodge Assisted Living & Memory Care, and Parkview Villas. Include the resident's full name and apartment number.
Do you deliver up Lookout Mountain and into the foothills above Golden?
Yes, to addresses inside our delivery area, including many homes on Lookout Mountain and in the foothills just west of town. Mountain roads and winter weather can slow a route, so add the recipient's phone number and any directions on the cart page. If your address doesn't go through at checkout, call us and a designer will check it.
Who can deliver flowers to someone in Golden today?
Rocky Mountain Florist, a Denver-area family florist. Order before 1 PM Mountain Time (Mon–Sat) and our professional floral drivers bring it to Golden on that day's morning or afternoon run.
What time do I need to order for Golden flowers to arrive today?
By 1 PM Mountain Time, Monday through Saturday. Later orders, and Sunday orders, go out the next delivery day, and you can book a date up to 90 days out.
What is the delivery fee to Golden?
$17.95 per address anywhere in Golden. Arrangements start at $69.95, and with Designer's Creation you can set any price from $69.95 to $199.95.
Can I get flowers delivered in Golden on a Sunday?
Sunday isn't a delivery day. We deliver Monday through Saturday and are closed for deliveries on New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day (July 4th), Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and other major holidays. A Sunday order goes out Monday or on any later day you pick.
What time will my flowers arrive in Golden?
We run a morning route and an afternoon route each delivery day. We can't promise an exact time, but if flowers need to arrive before a certain hour, such as a service, a party or a surprise, add that time on the cart page and we'll plan the route around it.
Who makes the flowers you deliver in Golden?
Skilled floral artists at Rocky Mountain Florist, a family business serving the Denver metro. Each order is designed fresh the morning it goes out, and our professional floral drivers deliver it, not a third-party courier. The designers who make the flowers also answer the phone.
Who answers the phone at Rocky Mountain Florist?
Our designers do. When you call (983) 203-9090 about flowers for Golden, 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 Golden recipient. Call us with the idea, or use Designer's Creation and let our floral artists decide.
I just heard about a funeral service in Golden this morning. Can you still get flowers there in time?
Call us right away at (983) 203-9090. Orders placed by 1 PM Mountain Time go out the same day, and our morning and afternoon routes give us two chances to reach the service. Tell the designer the service time and location, and we'll do everything we can to have flowers there on time.
What happens if the recipient in Golden isn't home?
Our driver leaves the flowers in a shaded, safe spot when there is one, or with a neighbor or building office, and leaves a note. If there's no safe place, we text the recipient and bring the flowers back on the next delivery day. Colorado sun and cold are hard on flowers, so we won't leave them somewhere they'd be damaged.
How do I know if you deliver to an address in Golden?
We cover 80401 and 80403. 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.
Why do flowers dry out faster in Golden?
Low humidity and altitude. Keep the vase topped off daily, trim the stems at an angle every few days, and keep flowers away from heat and direct sun. A live plant or dish garden lasts for weeks.
Which flowers last longest in Golden's dry Colorado climate?
Carnations, alstroemeria, chrysanthemums, orchids and lilies are among the longest-lasting cut flowers in Colorado's dry, high-altitude air, often lasting well over a week with fresh water and a stem trim every few days. Roses and hydrangeas are beautiful but drink a lot, so keep their vase full. For a gift that lasts for weeks or months, choose a live plant or dish garden, and ask our designers to favor long-lasting flowers when you call.
Can I change my order after I place it?
Yes. You can change the delivery day, the address or the card message until the morning of delivery. Call (983) 203-9090 and our team will update it.
What should I know before sending flowers to a hospital near Golden?
Three things: we deliver to the front desk or volunteer desk and staff take the flowers up, include the patient's full name and room number, and check that the unit accepts flowers. We can only control delivery to the desk, and the volunteers do the rest beautifully.
Can you deliver flowers to a nursing home, memory care or assisted living in Golden?
Yes. Deliveries to care communities always go to the front counter or reception staff. Many are locked or secured buildings, especially memory care, and security is tight to protect residents. Staff verify the resident and bring the flowers to them, including residents in long-term care or rehabilitation. Elderly residents can be more vulnerable to outside exposure, so drivers don't go to rooms. Include the resident's full name and room or apartment number.
Why do you double-check funeral and hospital orders?
Because these are emotional purchases, and getting them right matters. We confirm service details, follow facility rules around Golden, and reach out to you if anything looks off. As a family of real florists, we feel an ethical responsibility to protect what you're trying to say.
How do I make sure the funeral service details are correct?
Always call the funeral home directly to confirm the service date, time and location. Obituary and service information changes, and sometimes it's printed incorrectly. If you need help, call us at (983) 203-9090. We have great working relationships with funeral homes across the Denver metro, and we always verify service details before we deliver. Real florists have an ethical responsibility to protect their customers' expectations, and we take that seriously.
