At Thornton Bros Roses, we believe fresh flowers have the power to brighten moments, express heartfelt emotions, and create lasting memories.
With over 35 years of experience as a family-owned flower farm in south-west Sydney, we take pride in offering quality flowers - from our farm and the Sydney Flower Market straight to your vase.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, sending condolences, or simply surprising a loved one, choosing the right florist ensures your gesture is meaningful and memorable.
Our comprehensive services include hospital flower delivery, sympathy arrangements, funeral wreaths, and more, making us a trusted choice for all your floral requirements.
Let us take you behind the scenes of our market-to-vase journey and share why Thornton Bros is a trusted choice for fresh blooms.
Three times a week, before sunrise, we visit the Sydney Flower Market at Flemington. It’s here that we hand-select the finest blooms, including our own roses and Gerberas grown on site. With meticulous attention to detail, each flower is carefully chosen and prepared to ensure the highest quality. Our direct-from-market approach means:
✔ Exceptional freshness - our flowers are selected and delivered within hours of harvesting
✔ Minimal handling - preserving the integrity and beauty of each stem
✔ Market-to-vase quality - ensuring longevity and vibrant appearance at delivery
“Every stem tells a story — from the early morning market bustle to the joy of a recipient’s smile.”
By handling every step ourselves - from growing to selecting and delivering - we ensure that the fresh cut flowers you receive reflect our commitment to excellence.
A trusted florist offers more than just a product - we provide:
Personalised service: We listen, advise, and tailor each order to suit your occasion.
Expert craftsmanship: Our expert florists thoughtfully design each arrangement, combining colours, textures, and fragrances.
Reliability: From same-day delivery to exceptional service, we make sure your flowers arrive fresh and on time.
Choosing a local florist means you’re also supporting Australian growers and businesses - something we’re proud to be part of.
