The Journey of Rōhi

Rōhi Lab-Where Roses Whisper Love

My journey with flowers began three years ago, when I first started learning floral design and running a small studio from home. But the seed was planted long before—at seventeen, when I first came to New Zealand and felt an unexpected closeness to the Māori language. Rōhi means “rose” in Māori, a flower I deeply love for its romance, resilience, and timeless fragrance.

After completing my postgraduate studies, my passion for floristry never stopped growing. Opening a flower shop has always been the dream of every florist, and now, my roses have finally taken root and begun to bloom here.

At Rōhi, we believe in:

• Nature as our foundation – selecting seasonal blooms to honor their authentic beauty.

• Cross-disciplinary aesthetics – exploring the connections between flowers, spaces, and emotions.

• Warmth through flowers – sharing gentle energy that turns beauty into everyday healing.

I love all things beautiful and will never stop pursuing them. That is why I believe every arrangement from Rōhi carries not just flowers, but also a piece of love and grace.
