De Bloemstraat heette tot de annexatie van Delfshaven in 1886 de Rozenstraat. Om verwarring te voorkomen met de sinds 1878 bestaande, naar ingenieur W. N. Rose vernoemde, Rosestraat op Feijenoord werd deze gewijzigd in Bloemstraat.

De verklaring is duidelijk.

(English translation:)
Until the annexation from Delfshaven in 1886, Bloemstraat (“Flower Street”) was called Rozenstraat (“Roses Street”). To avoid confusion with the already existing (since 1878) Rosestraat (“Rose Street”), which was named after engineer W. N. Rose, Rosestraat in the Feijenoord district was changed to Bloemstraat.

The explanation is clear.

Erected by the 32N.
