Fresh Spring Look

Roses and Blooms is now showcasing a fresh Spring look, even though it is snowing outside. Mother Nature may not be on our side so far this year, but we are doing what we can to bring that warm, springtime feeling to New York. I've snapped a few pictures to show you what we are doing, but of course we'd love for you to drop by and see it for yourself!

Mini Phalaenopsis Orchids in DutZ Pots
 Here you can see our Spring colors come through not only in our selection of phalaenopsis orchids, but also in the pots they come in. These are some more examples of our DutZ collection, a line we are very proud to be able to carry. Each pot is mouth-blown glass and imported from Europe. Just what we need to continue showing our customers we offer only the highest quality in Manhattan. 

Assorted Succulents in DutZ Patina and Evita
Towards our registers, you can see our collection of succulents. These are the perfect plants for anyone, even those with the least green thumbs of all. Minimal care is needed and they always look great, especially when paired with more of our DutZ collection containers. My favorite are the evita, they are the ones with the three feet! 

Orchids and Green Trick Dianthus Flowers in Small DutZ Containers
Looking for a cute gift? We're continuing our trend of focusing on colorful DutZ containers in the front display with DutZ flower vases and small patina, frosted containers. All they need is a flower, and they are the perfect gift for a cubicle or small apartment. Or place them in groupings on a plate like we've done here to create a full effect. Isn't that Green Trick Dianthus something else? I love the way it really embodies the spirit of Spring! 

Front Window with Large Clear DutZ and Orchids Galore! 

And of course our beautiful front windows are done up as usual. This week we've taken our large, clear glass pieces from DutZ and filled them with our gorgeous cymbidium orchids. These vases don't need much to make an impact and the classic elegance of these orchids is just enough to put this over the top. 

I hope you've enjoyed our little tour of this week's springtime decor at Roses and Blooms. Come by and see our flowers sometime, we're always excited to get visitors!

Spring Has Sprung


Hello everyone! It's been a while, Valentine's Day was a great holiday, one of the best ever but I have let my blogging duties fall by the wayside. 

It may not look like it outside today, but Spring is right around the corner. I love Spring, it is truly a magical time for flowers. Blooms are budding, the air smells crisp and fresh, and we at Roses and Blooms are busy designing new looks for the season. I am planning on doing a series on these new designs, starting today with our new window display at the florist. I'd love to see all of you coming by to see the windows, the team has truly done a fantastic job bringing the flowers and beautiful DutZ glass together to make a large impact. Here are some pictures of the window, of course it doesn't look at good as real life though!
 




As you can see, we are embracing the less is more approach. You don't have to overload a vase with flowers when you are using quality. Just look at these DutZ clear vases. They are gorgeous on their own and putting too much in them just reduces them to something ordinary instead of celebrating the fact they are hand-made pieces from Holland. We've combined magnolia leaves, quince, and amaryllis to create this elegant, tall look. Don't you think it would look great in a hotel lobby, especially one with a more modern feel to it? I know I can think of plenty of places in New York where a large piece like this would be a sure fire hit! 
Let us know what you think of our Spring window display! We always love to hear from our customers and love using your ideas to inspire our future designs. There is no other florist in New York with a window display like ours, it is worth the trip to come by and see it, especially since this Spring display only covers about a third of the window display we have. Stay on the lookout for our continued Spring series, including a new collection of designs for the office and one of the home!
