The Tamar Valley Rose Shop

The Tamar Valley Rose Shop is a division of Tamar Valley Roses Pty Ltd (ABN 92 009 577 235). Tamar Valley Roses, is a renowned family owned and operated commercial cut flower rose growing operation, that was established at Rosevears in 1978. Started by Peter and Helen Lee, Tamar Valley Roses began as flower growers and wholesalers of a number of flower crops, before specialising in roses.In 1985 Peter became the Australian cut flower agent for the French rose breeding company of Meilland, famous for such roses as Peace and Papa Meilland. This special relationship with Meilland of France allows The Tamar Valley Rose Shop to be the first stores (and of course our customers) within Australia to see and trial at home the new trends and fashions within the cut flower rose scene.Tamar Valley Roses opened its first florist shop (The Tamar Valley Rose Shop) at 44 St John St Launceston, in November of 1998. The shop was opened by Peter and Helen's daughter Megan, who after completing her four year floristry apprenticeship through Box Hill College of TAFE in Melbourne (and winning Apprentice of the Year in Floristry both in Tasmania and Victoria) decided to rejoin the family cut flower rose growing business, by vertically integrating the growing and wholesaling side with a retail division.
