A Rose Of Sharon

I just received a bouquet of flowers from my boyfriend from here and they are so beautiful! Fresh flowers and a wonderful arrangement with an adorable vase and details. Very courteous and on time delivery on Christmas ever. Thank you For such a good experience when we needed it most!

Do not waste your money here. My mother sent me a birthday bouquet and spent $ 40 + shipping. I love her, it’s a very sweet gift, but I believe she got ripped off on this one. This is the dinkiest little bouquet I have ever seen and I feel bad that my mom wasted her money. The owner wasn’t even apologetic about her dinky rip-​off bouquet.

so rude. I like Sammys or Broadway flowers. customer service is awful.

I ordered flowers for my boyfriend’s parents online and Rose of Sharon fulfilled the order. I let the florist design a bouquet of their choosing, and they turned out very pretty. They were delivered the day I requested and were a nice size. The flowers themselves I was happy with.
My complaint was that they decided to hand-​write the note I had typed up for the card. That would have been fine if they copied it verbatim BUT the whole thing was riddled with spelling and grammatical errors.
For example I wrote,
You two are incredibly generous. Everyone was so welcoming.
And it was written
you Too are incredible generous. Everyone everyone was so welcoming.
Leaving that impression, after having just met them for the first time was not mortifying at all!
Luckily, I think, I was able to convince them that I have read a book before.
I’d say if you get your flowers here you better write the card yourself!

If I could give this florist a –1 I would. My roommate just received some flowers for Mother’s Day from A Rose of Sharon sent by her son (who is in the Armed Forces and is serving overseas). The flowers were sent FTD and when they arrived, they were pathetic. The flowers were dying (petals falling off) and they flopped around because the vase was too big. When my roommate called this florist to express her disappointment, she was told that they had substituted a better vase than the one FTD specified, and she should be happy with the $ 15.00 vase. Is this florist kidding??? You can buy a better vase at Goodwill for a dollar, and certainly if her son had wanted to send her just a vase, he could have done so. The florist also told my roommate that she could «make someone’s day and give them the vase.» She did offer to pick up the flowers and do something else, but it’s a little late for that. Why not just do the right thing to begin with? Maybe they should change the name to «A Vase of Sharon instead of «A Rose of Sharon» since this seems to be their main concern rather than the flowers.

Wow The worst ever!!!

Ordered flowers for my Mom on Mother’s Day. This shop said they could deliver. Received an email from them midday saying they could not deliver them, but would be happy to reschedule delivery to another day. Not really an option for Mother’s Day, so I cancelled the order. Received another email saying they would be delivering; cancelled again. They delivered the next day when my Mom was at work. Left flowers and chocolates on front porch under full sun. I called FTD directly and they refunded the purchase. Florist then goes to my Mom’s house and leaves a nasty note accusing her of committing «thief»; not «theft» mind you, but «thief».
The flowers were as melted as the chocolate, so I can’t even say «but, they were pretty flowers». The person I spoke to at FTD said that I wasn’t the first person to file a complaint against this florist. My suggestion is to stay away from this woman’s shop. The service is terrible, they can’t follow through on their commitments, and they like to insult Mothers that went without on Mother’s Day as a result of their incompetence. I’m sending the note to FTD today.

Terrible customer service! My daughter used a Groupon she spent $ 20 for $ 40 worth of flowers… And it was the most wimpy bouquet of cheap cheap flowers. When I called the owner to discuss this she continued to remind me how I wasn’t in the flower business I didn’t know what I was speaking about. Certainly not the way to attract new clients

This woman is extremely rude and ready to attack you if you don’t like her interpretation of what you orderer on-​line.
I was dumbfounded when she started ranting and raving. I paid a lot of $ for arrangement and what my daughter received was just plain ugly. I was so shocked I didn’t know what to say. She was far from apologetic and hung up on me. She is in the wrong business. Although I am not sure such horrible customer service is acceptable for any business. Maybe DMV?
I ordered the flowers from Teleflora and paid extra for premier. A $ 90 arrangment should look good. But is was practically nothing but stems and leaves. She ran out of flowers and yelled at me because she ran out of the needed flowers. How is that my fault? I told Teleflora to have another florist send.

What an awful experience! My sister ordered flowers for my birthday online, and A Rose of Sharon was the company filling the order. I was excited to see that I had received flowers, but some of the flowers were slightly wilted and there were some «weeping» things hanging off the edge. I sent my sister a picture thanking her for the kind gesture, and she showed me a picture of what the arrangement was SUPPOSED to look like: not even close, Sharon.
I called the florist the same day and had a woman from the answering service say that they had received some complaints about wilted flowers and perhaps I receive flowers from the bunch that didn’t get enough water, but the florist would call me back.
I spoke with Sharon herself, and she mentioned that the arrangement had to have kangaroo something-​rathers and some other droopy plant, and that it wasn’t her fault that they looked bad because they’re out of season. She said she got the tallest ones she could find and that the droopiness was supposed to be like that. She said she got the best she could of those two, but would send me replacement flowers on Monday, and asked what kind of flowers I wanted. I told her my sister subbed out the orange lilies for star gazers because they’re my favorite, so anything with lilies that doesn’t look dead. Sharon went on to rant about how her company made the list for the top 500 florists which is really hard to do, and that she was offended that I didn’t like her flowers. She then confirmed she would be sending new flowers on Monday then hung up.
Talk about poor customer service! I would expect a good florist to call up the customer to let them know if the flowers may not be up to par and give them the chance to switch if they aren’t particular about it. I would also expect an apology of some sort! I’ll post a photo so you can see just how… different…the two bouquets look.
I would trust Lubliner Floral or Giffords… or ANY other florist before doing business with Sharon again.
Note: The bouquet was resent today and looks much better. However, after the rude customer service, I wouldn’t recommend getting flowers from here. I’ve posted photos showing the different bouquets and how they turned out.

I got flowers from this company twice in the past 2 weeks and both times my flowers were gorgeous and smelled divine! I received my Valentine’s flowers last night (²⁄₁₄). Sadly I was out but the delivery guy was great about calling me and letting me know where he was leaving my flowers on our porch so they were out of sight. He even wished me a Happy Valentine’s Day. I actually got a bonus as my flowers came with candy (which my fiancé knew about) and a stuffed red teddy bear (which was not part of what he had ordered from what he saw online). For my birthday earlier in Feb., I got a gorgeous arrangement of roses from my future in-​laws that live in Europe and, again, via A Rose of Sharon. Great service and beautiful flowers.
