Black Rose Florist began in 1997 with a store in the North City shopping centre in Porirua, and now runs as a design store and online florist. It is based on Mana Esplanade in Paremata, and there is a pick-up point at Magpie in Paremata, next to Supply Room in Mana. Same-day delivery covers Porirua, Wellington, Kāpiti and the Hutt Valley, and overnight delivery covers the rest of the North Island and rural areas. South Island orders are limited to wine and gift boxes, which arrive in two to three days.
The business says it offers beautiful flowers and gifts, with outstanding service and quality. Orders and questions can go by phone on 0800 252 257 or 04 237 0585, or by email to admin@blackroseflorist.co.nz. Office hours are Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, and Saturday from 10am to 3pm. The website says the business won the Porirua Business Awards in 2010. It suits people in Wellington and on the Kāpiti Coast who want flowers delivered the same day, or a gift sent further afield.
