Rodgers the Florist

Designer Flowers by Rodgers a truly family business, were established way back in 1911 in South Manchester, England. The business developed from market gardeners, wholesalers of flowers and plants, into now a multiple full service retail florists with a number of outlets around Manchester.

With their experience and expertise, they can now source flowers DIRECT from all over the world, for example: Orchids from New Zealand & Thailand: carnations and roses from South America; Foliages from Florida and many varieties from Holland and Africa. Thus by importing direct from around the world Rodgers has an advantage over many other florists because their flowers arrive days fresher than going through the usual wholesale supply chain.

Over the years, Designer Flowers by Rodgers has achieved the ability to provide floral designs truly for any occasion. From the small bunch of flowers for the home, a bouquet for an anniversary to designing and setting up massive displays for such events as the Commonwealth Games in Manchester 2002 and other large events like society wedding and balls. With a staff of over 15 including some of the Nations top designers nothing is too small or too big for them to tackle. Fathers Day this year is on the 21st of June 2015.

As one of the very first Nation wide and in fact the very first in the Manchester area way back in 1923 to start up the now multi national florist network INTERFLORA, Rodgers the Florists can arrange delivery of floral gifts within a few hours almost anywhere in the world.
