About Rosehip & Bloom

Rosehip & Bloom has been formed by Tambuzi to create a

distribution hub in Middle East for their unique range of

scented David Austin and garden roses.

With direct shipments coming from Kenya the Roses will not

come through Holland as was the case before which will

increase the shelve life of the roses and you can be confident

that they will be perfect for your big event.

Shipments will arrive twice weekly and will be available for

weekly standing orders, events and weddings.

TAMBUZI Background

WHO WE ARE

In the mid-1990s, Tim and Maggie Hobbs - a young and dynamic couple

with Kenyan roots, came across a beautiful, derelict farm on the foot hills

of Mount Kenya only miles from the equator. The 64 hectare farm,

originally a dairy and beef farm, was up for sale and with its perfect

conditions for growing roses the Hobbs bought and developed it into what

it is today: a specialist supplier of traditional garden scented roses- the

only one in Kenya.

Today, Tambuzi Ltd. has 25 hectares under horticultural production, with

the rest dedicated to sustainable forestry, bee keeping, vegetables and

livestock. It is also home to Tim, Maggie and their three young children.

Tambuzi is a company driven not just for profit but with the intention of

improving the world around it. The company’s strapline ‘stop and smell

the roses’ sends a simple message – to slow down, notice and enjoy

everything around you. The company strongly believes in the concept of

shared values, and it considers the welfare of its employees and the

neighbouring communities to be part of its strength. Tambuzi uses the

best practice methods possible to ensure that there are no negative

impacts on the integrity of the environment. We are proud to be one of

only five ‘gold’ certified members of the Kenya Flower Council.

DARCEY

The colour of our intriguing new rose Darcey is transformed as the bloom ages. Bright crimson buds gradually open out to form many-petalled, raspberry red rosettes. An attractive cluster of stamens is revealed in the heart of the flower. As the blooms age, the colour deepens, developing rich purple tones. Darcey has a very light fruity fragrance and our longest vase life to date. This variety dries beautifully, turning a rich cassis colour. Darcey is the first David Austin rose that can be stocked by florists for a few days and still have a vase life of 9 to 10 days in the home

KEIRA

Keira breaks all the normal rules for a cut flower. The colour of each rose is very subtly different, being a beautiful blend of blush pink and cream, often with warm peachy highlights. Some blooms have an irregular flush of pink that highlights the edge of the outer petals, creating a very soft picotee effect.

MIRANDA

Spectacular rose-pink blooms made up of many wavy petals, perfectly arranged to form beautiful, almost flat rosettes. The outer petals have a lovely streaked green effect, reminiscent of a parrot tulip. As the bloom opens, the outer petals gradually lighten in colour and turn back, eventually becoming hidden. There is a delicate, fruity fragrance. Miranda is ideal for gift or mixed bouquets, arrangements for the home, for weddings or to celebrate the birth of a baby girl. Choose Miranda for the large blooms, the vase life, for exceptional reliability and for its natural, cottage garden charm.
