The Rosebud is a pretty addition to this stretch of Gloucester Road. Large plants, including some impressive topiaried Bay trees, as well as buckets of heavily scented blooms, line the pavement. As the name suggests, roses are a speciality. These elegant, fragrant flowers are clearly a selection of the most exclusive varieties, grown with care and an adroit understanding of their cultivation.
The shop itself is quite small, which comes as a bit of a surprise owing to the scale of the display outside. This may have something to do with the owners fascination with budgies... there's a small aviary housed in the back room, where, if you are lucky, you'll see the birds flying around through the viewing window. The partition wall could easily be knocked through, giving the shop a third more floor space, but would mean that the birds would need to be permanently caged.
The Rosebud is an Interflora outlet offering same-day delivery. They are also wedding and funeral specialists. Lisa, the owner, is highly qualified at her craft, (as are the staff), and is always on hand to offer advice. read more
