Our Midhurst Shop

10 inches of snow fell in Midhurst, West Sussex on the day we opened our new shop in West Street! But with a fire in the grate, wreaths on the doors, and a Christmas tree trimmed with real scented roses we had all the ingredients for the perfect Christmas.

We hope you'll drop in to our little scented paradise if you're in the area.

'Heaven Scent' - Luxury with Lucia

Since we're talking luxury, I can scarcely think of anything nicer than a house filled with old-fashioned, big, blowsy English couuntry roses that smell the way roses used to and whose great fat petals drop off the way they do in paintings by Dutch Masters. For the millions of us who live in flats or houses in the middle of cities, bunches of English country roses with their own fresh, sweet smell are one of the best treats that summer has to offer......The Real Flower Company also has as its USP the desire to deliver scented English country roses to customers for whom hothouse roses never seem like the real thing....
