About Rosehip & Bloom
RoseHip & Bloom has been formed to create a distribution hub in Middle East for roses grown byTambuzi giving us the opportunity to provide their unique range of scented, David Austin and garden roses.
RoseHip and bloom will function as a wholesaler to the retail market here in the UAE. We strive to have each individual order cut, shipped, cleared and delivered to customer demand giving us the guarantee that the roses will be the freshest possible at arrival.
Our weekly standing delivery dates are every Wednesday and Saturday.
Any order must be placed minimum three days before the set delivery day for us to be able to guarantee your required products.
For any order above a thousand stems and or special delivery requirements, please contact Gina@rosehipandbloom.com directly to discuss the special arrangements.
With direct shipments coming from Kenya the Roses will not come through Holland as was the previously the case 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.
Orders can be placed via our web shop or via mail or phone by contacting Gina.

TAMBUZI Background
Who are Tambuzi
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 neighboring 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
