6 Great Plant Shops And Florists In Upper Manhattan

Elegant row houses and glittering Fifth Avenue stores aren’t the only beauties to be seen in Upper Manhattan. Specialty roses, designer floral arrangements, and more of life’s “little” luxuries (by uptown standards, anyway) are accessible to all at Upper Manhattan’s best plant shops and florists.

1. Rosa Rosa Flowers

Shop

Uptown shoppers have turned to Rosa Rosa Flowers for more than 30 years. New York’s first florist to specialize in roses, Rosa Rosa is your source for everything from consultations with Rose Centerpiece Specialists to fresh Ecuadorian roses delivered daily. Personalized service, such as color meaning explanations and same-day delivery, make this Upper Manhattan mainstay a special pick.

2. The Sill

Shop, Store

Downtown vibes get an uptown address at The Sill’s Upper West Side outpost (the store also operates a Lower East Side location). Here, unconventional items including Hoya hearts, moss balls, and artisan ceramic planters cover a space that manages to appear both sleek and jungle-like.

3. Posies

Shop

For a quintessential Upper West Side experience, pick Posies, the quaintest florist on Amsterdam Avenue. Understated bouquets featuring two- or three-flower varieties and flower bunches line the walls at this local favorite, which also offers popular floral arranging classes that allow novices to make their own bouquets by hand.

5. Posy Floral Design, Inc

Shop

Considering Posy’s work, it’s easy to understand why taste-makers including The New York Times and Bergdorf Goodman are counted amongst its clients. Designs which New York Magazine describes as “simple, elegant and modern” range from bunches in Posy’s signature square glass containers to flower chuppahs.

6. Barbara's Flowers

Shop

With “40 years of experience and two generations of florists” under its belt, Barbara’s Flowers can handle any request you send its way. Flower chuppahs, humble bouquets, and special occasion centerpieces incorporating high heel shoes and disco balls are all part of Barbara’s repertoire.
