About The Garden Rose

Owned by 23 year old Jessica, The Garden Rose offers a broad spectrum of floristry services: from beautiful traditional designs to innovative, original creations. The store is found in the market town of Hinckley, Leicestershire, and has stocked a wide variety of stunning fresh cut flowers since September 2011. These gorgeous flowers are primarily sourced from Holland. However, when in season, we aim to use British produce as well as stocking our own, home grown blooms in summer and autumn months. We love our shop and we hope you will too, so do drop by, smell the flowers and take a look at our lovely bespoke giftware.
