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.

24. WHITE O'HARA
Broad citrus overtones level out into hints of green apple.
White not quite, with a green outer and a baby-pink
inner-core. This is a very strong rose for all occasions. It
goes well with the other whites in our palette. A very
strong performer, opening nicely into a cupped,
quartered centre. The shape is somewhere between
classic tulip and full-cupped garden, this rose had a firm
place and loyal following in our collection.
