3. 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.

6. 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

10. 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.
