Grateful Valentine's Flowers Recipient

by KevinParkSlope

So I live in Park Slope but work at a magazine in midtown. My partner ordered flowers from Rootstock--on the phone, so the bouquet was not planned by him--and they arrived at work around 11:30 Valentine's Day. Just beautiful. Interesting arrangement, exotic flowers (there are even raspberries in it), cool vase, trendy low arrangement, and not in the least bit gaudy. I can't thank them enough for doing such a great job and I can't believe how early they arrived. This was his first order from there, and I know we will be using them again.

GORGEOUS wedding flowers!

by bex610

We used Kerry and crew for our June wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. We can not express in writing how gorgeous all of the flowers were! We would not have changed a single thing about them. We told Kerry our color ideas and let her do her thing. It was amazing - our personalities were totally reflected in the flowers!! We were THRILLED! The bridal bouquet was unbelievable. Everyone was asking what types of flowers they were because they were just so stunning and different. The centerpieces were gorgeous - lush and overflowing with flowers...We can not recommend enough!!!!

a happy friend

by alarson

wanted to cheer up a friend and didn't know what to send. the folks at this shop were so helpful, I dont order flowers much but i was assured that it would be beautiful. my friend loved it and i visited her later in the week and it was a work of art! the flowers were so fresh and stuff i'd never seen before. Some of them looked like candy - good enough to eat!

wedding bliss

by shellyj033

I just got my photos back from our wedding this past August and they are everything i hoped! The flowers were so amazing-- that was the one thing i was extremely picky about and wanted to make sure were gorgeous. Every photograph that was taken had a beautiful altar floral or centerpiece in it. I just told Kerry at Rootstock my colors and my favorite flowers and they did an amazing job with figuring out the rest. From trees to floral to the candles they were the best. THANK YOU!!!!

Wedding Disappointment

by smartypanties

First off, I am not one to complain. I thought i'd support the local smallish business. Kerry was very nice and accommodating. But not only did the wedding flowers they delivered to me look nearly dead and far worse than bodega flowers (i had to buy fake corn silk flowers across the street at the last second for a dollar each for me and my attendants) and the mothers flowers didn't affix to their clothing or their wrists as promised, but a guy there had the audacity to call me and YELL at me for my email to them that expressed disappointment. I was happy to pay for the groom flowers and nice baskets, but he refused to reimburse me for the bad flowers. I am shocked by the lack of professionalism and will never ever go there again.

• Pros: plants might be ok (i got flowers), timely delivery
• Cons: poor quality flowers, clashing ribbons, poor listening skills by a bad-tempered employee

I love this store!!!

by heroxjimmy

John and Kerry have set up the most unbelievable store... it is beautiful and filled with all kinds of unusual things. Check out John for a garden consultation... he will amaze you. If you are getting married or something, go no further than Kerry. These two just totally rock.

• Pros: Great Plants, Great Flowers, Great Service

outstanding

by fkramerjr

root stock & quade is one of the most stylish shops I've been in. From the paint scheme on the walls to its well-appointed stock, it welcomes and beckons you into its lush world. It's full of houseplants, containers, lawn and garden supplies, and orchids. And oh, those flowers! An ever-changing scene of exotics and unique species. The seasonal selections are exceptional -- I think they have the best collection of glass Christmas ornaments in the city!

FANTASTIC FLOWERS

by mjm562

Quade has been the only florist I use EVER since i discovered them 2 years ago.....

THey are always very helpful, creative and their arrangements are always spectaular!

Everytime I send flowers I get an estatic phone call about how beautiful the flowers are. This past valentine's day my husband and I both secertly ordered arrangements from them for each other and they we both delivered to our respective workplaces on-time with perfect arrangements perfectly suiting the individual. The arrangement they sent for my husband was beautiful and creative but masculine.

They also do wonderful floral arrangemnets and decor for parties. They did the flowers for my wedding and everything was perfect and beautiful.

Unacceptably rude service

by rkassel

Based on the high ratings I thought this florist could do a great job with the elaborate flowers I wanted for my mothers 85th birthday. When I phoned to place an order and said it was for a birthday I was hung up on. Thinking it was an accident, I called back and was hung up on again without explanation. I can't imagine worse service than that.

the best

by lambjerry

I divide my time between NY and Seattle and am always more than impressed with the flowers I get from this shop. They have me on file so all I need to do is call up and say where I want something sent and its done! Impressive and high quality service.

• Pros: quality, friendly, professional
