Hear from Our Customers
You walk into your apartment and immediately notice the difference. Fresh flowers change everything about a room – the way light hits the petals, how the space feels more alive, more intentional.
Real flowers last. Not the grocery store kind that droop after two days, but professionally arranged flowers that stay vibrant for over a week. You’re not just buying flowers – you’re investing in daily moments that make your home feel special.
Living on Roosevelt Island means you value quality and convenience. You want flowers that work in your space, delivered reliably to your unique location, without the hassle of Manhattan flower district trips or unreliable delivery services that don’t understand island logistics.
We’ve been serving New York flower customers for years at Columbia Midtown Florist, and we’ve figured out what Roosevelt Island residents actually need. We understand your building access codes, tram schedules, and the fact that you’re not just another Manhattan address.
Most flower shops treat Roosevelt Island like an afterthought – if they deliver there at all. We’ve built our delivery system around serving the island properly, which means reliable timing, fresh arrangements, and service that understands your community’s unique character.
You deserve flowers that arrive when promised, last longer than expected, and come from people who actually know where Roosevelt Island is and how to get there consistently.
You browse our fresh flower selection online or call us directly. We discuss what you’re looking for – whether it’s a weekly arrangement for your apartment, something special for a celebration, or flowers that work well in your specific living space.
We prepare your arrangement the same day using fresh flowers, sized appropriately for apartment living but substantial enough to make an impact. Our delivery team knows Roosevelt Island’s building systems, access requirements, and timing considerations.
Your flowers arrive fresh, professionally arranged, and delivered by someone who understands that Roosevelt Island isn’t just “somewhere near Manhattan.” We treat your delivery with the care and precision your island community deserves, ensuring your flowers arrive in perfect condition and on time.

Every arrangement includes flowers selected for longevity, professionally designed for your space, and delivered with care instructions that actually work. We source our flowers for freshness and choose varieties that thrive in apartment environments with varying light conditions.
Roosevelt Island residents face unique challenges – limited storage space, specific delivery requirements, and the need for arrangements that work in compact living spaces. We size our arrangements appropriately, use sturdy vases that won’t tip over easily, and select flowers that look impressive without overwhelming smaller rooms.
You also receive our delivery guarantee to Roosevelt Island, which means we’ve solved the logistics that other flower shops struggle with. We know the building access procedures, understand timing considerations with the tram schedule, and have backup plans for weather-related delivery challenges that affect island access.
Yes, we provide same-day flower delivery to Roosevelt Island when you order before 2 PM on weekdays and 12 PM on weekends. We’ve specifically designed our delivery system to handle Roosevelt Island’s unique access requirements.
Most flower shops struggle with Roosevelt Island delivery because they don’t understand the tram system, building access codes, or timing considerations. We’ve been delivering to the island long enough to know which buildings require advance notification, how to coordinate with doormen, and how to time deliveries around tram schedules.
Our delivery team is familiar with Roosevelt Island’s address system and building layouts, so your flowers arrive reliably without the confusion that often happens when other services attempt island deliveries for the first time.
Our professionally arranged flowers typically last 7-10 days with proper care, compared to 2-4 days for grocery store flowers. The difference comes down to sourcing, handling, and the condition of flowers when they reach you.
We source flowers that are cut at optimal freshness and handle them properly throughout the entire process. Grocery store flowers often sit in warehouses, get handled roughly during transport, and aren’t selected for longevity – they’re chosen for immediate visual appeal and low cost.
Each arrangement includes specific care instructions for the flower varieties we’ve selected. Simple steps like proper water levels, stem trimming, and placement away from heat sources can extend your flowers’ life significantly when you start with quality blooms.
Absolutely. We specialize in arrangements sized for apartment living that make an impact without overwhelming your space. Roosevelt Island residents often have compact living areas that need flowers scaled appropriately.
We consider your table size, ceiling height, and room proportions when creating arrangements. A massive centerpiece that works in a suburban dining room will look ridiculous on a small apartment table, so we design arrangements that complement your space rather than dominate it.
Our apartment-friendly arrangements use sturdy, proportional vases that won’t tip easily and flower selections that look full and impressive without requiring excessive height or width. You get the visual impact you want without sacrificing precious surface space or creating arrangements that look out of place in your home.
We have backup systems in place for Roosevelt Island’s unique delivery challenges, including weather-related tram delays, building access issues, and timing coordination problems that can affect island deliveries.
Our delivery team maintains contact information for building management at major Roosevelt Island complexes and understands the access procedures for different building types. If there’s an access issue, we coordinate directly with building staff rather than leaving flowers with uncertain delivery outcomes.
For weather-related delays affecting tram service, we monitor conditions and adjust delivery timing accordingly. If same-day delivery becomes impossible due to circumstances beyond our control, we contact you immediately to reschedule and ensure your flowers arrive in perfect condition rather than risk damage from delayed delivery attempts.
Yes, we offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly flower delivery service to Roosevelt Island residents who want fresh arrangements regularly without the hassle of repeated ordering and coordination.
Regular delivery service works particularly well for Roosevelt Island because we can establish a delivery routine that works with your schedule and building access requirements. We learn your preferences, optimal delivery timing, and any special instructions that make the process seamless.
You can modify, skip, or cancel deliveries as needed, and we adjust arrangements seasonally to keep your flowers interesting and appropriate for the time of year. Regular customers also receive priority scheduling and can request specific flower types or colors for special occasions within their regular delivery schedule.
Our pricing reflects the quality of flowers, professional arrangement, and reliable Roosevelt Island delivery service you receive. We’re not the cheapest option, but we’re competitively priced for the level of service and flower quality we provide.
Many cheaper services either don’t deliver to Roosevelt Island at all, or they charge significant additional fees for island delivery that make their advertised prices misleading. We include Roosevelt Island delivery in our standard pricing because we’ve built our system to handle island logistics efficiently.
You’re paying for flowers that last longer, arrangements designed by professionals, and delivery service that actually works reliably for your location. When you factor in longevity and reliability, our flowers often provide better value than cheaper alternatives that disappoint or fail to arrive as promised.
