Rose republic

Denise is an established floral designer with strong Vancouverian roots. Having studied floral design with Maureen Sullivan, the former owner of Kerrisdale’s very own Thomas Hobbs, she eventually bloomed as a freelance floral designer.

Transforming events into botanical fantasies is her speciality – from weddings, baby showers, birthdays and other private functions, you name it and she’s done it. 

Inspired by J’adore Les Fleurs, the North American pioneers of the floral hat box trend,  Denise felt that Vancouver deserved to experience the same touch of love and luxury through these arrangements and sought to fill this market gap with Rose Republic.

Denise’s eye for presentation and knowledge of floral design gives her the power to evoke emotion with her arrangements. With Rose Republic, it is the brand’s mission to bring a refreshing narrative and luxurious approach to the millennia-old practise of gifting flowers for any occasion – for all the I love yous and the get well soons, there is a signature box that expresses your feelings to their fullest.
