Flowers by Jerry
Flowers by Jerry has been operating in the Rochester area for over half a century. They offer a number of fresh-cut flower arrangements with blooms including amaranths, sunflowers, roses, and much more. They have a touching sympathy section, which includes several wreaths in pale pink and white, as well as standing sprays, thoughtful arrangements, and beautiful bouquets. The Sweet Sympathy bouquet is particularly striking, with white roses and calla lilies contrasting with dark green stems and leaves. Their greenhouse section offers baskets of hanging flowers and pots of green leafy plants, such as philodendron and ivy.
Flowers by Jerry also does wedding flowers and has an easy-to-use wedding consultation request form where you can put in information like your ceremony and reception venues, your preferred color palette, and your floral budget upfront. Overall, their displays have an equally beautiful, less formal look than Renning’s, but you can’t go wrong with either one. Flowers by Jerry also has a gift shop with cozy clothing options, bath products, and gift boxes. Their family-owned shop is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays until 2 p.m., and they deliver locally to the Rochester area.
Carousel Floral Gifts & Garden
Open since 1991, Carousel Floral has much to offer, including free local delivery for online orders and same-day delivery if you order before the cut-off time. They offer flowers for many occasions, such as birthdays, get-well wishes, anniversaries, congratulations, just because, and thank you’s. You can browse their arrangements by occasion, select the color you want, look through collections, or choose your preferred flower type, such as tulips, sunflowers, orchids, lilies, or roses. Their Sympathy and Funeral collection includes wreaths, standing sprays, and crosses, as well as casket and urn sprays to say farewell with a beautiful display.
They also offer green plants like potted succulents, a mini cactus garden, and a garden basket that would make a lovely and thoughtful gift for a friend with a green thumb. Need a birthday gift for someone who prefers food over flowers? Carousel Floral Gifts and Garden offers three edible gift baskets. The Chocolate Lover’s Basket contains various kinds of chocolate for eating and drinking, while the Sweet Treats Basket gives you around a dozen different packets of sweets to enjoy. No sweet tooth?
