The Wall Street Florist has been family owned and operated New York City Flower Shop since 1972. Our first floral shop was located at 93 Nassau St in what was then the heart of the Wall Street shopping district in New York City, New York. Fifteen years later we moved to 127 Fulton St, which was down the block from our first location. During our formative years we were primarily a local Manhattan NY florist. However over the years, our business customers who have moved away from the city have continued to call our toll free phone number and to use our internet site. In addition with the advent of the internet customers, people all across the country have used our site to order flowers, transforming our local business into a true nation-wide floral business. Our florist shop has always specialized in nation wide floral delivery with same day delivery anywhere in the USA/Canada. We are committed to offering only the finest floral arrangements and gifts backed by service that is friendly and prompt. Because all of our customers are important, our professional staff is dedicated to making our customers experience a pleasant one. That is why we always go the extra mile to make our floral gifts perfect. We have always made available a large inventory of fresh flowers, exotic flowers and tropical arrangements. We carry green plants and flowering plants, European dish gardens, and high style floral arrangements. At The Wall Street Florist, we specialize in contemporary and traditional arrangements, sympathy floral bouquets and tributes, and the finest in gourmet gift baskets, fruit baskets and gift baskets for any occasion.
When we first opened in the Wall Street area, we adopted a unique policy at the time. We offered then, and continue to offer an unconditional guarantee on all our products. At that time most florists would not guarantee the product once it left their store. Their attitude was that they would not know what the customer might have done to the flowers, such as putting the flowers on the window sill in the sun, which would cause them to die, so how could they refund the customers money when it may not have been the florists fault. Our attitude was that it did not matter whose fault it was it only mattered that our customer was not satisfied. That attitude coupled with the personal touch that we offer to all our customers has kept us in business for 35 successful years.

For centuries, flowers, and various plants have given much pleasure to people around the world, Their beauty has the unique ability to bring cheer when someone is ill or downhearted, and their fragrances can be used to make lovely perfumes, while their delicate foliage can be used for certain medicines and foods. There were references given to flowers, herbs and plants in Biblical times, and during the Middle Ages, herbs were even believed by some to have magical powers. Therefore, they were given a place of honor in the royal floral gardens. The use of these floral "gardens" existed well into the Victorian era, and helped to create the elaborate list of meanings to describe these flowers. History relates that during the reign of Queen Victoria, in England, the language of flowers was as important to people as being "well dressed." For example, the recognizable scent of a particular flower, plant or perhaps a scented handkerchief sent its own unique message. Flowers adorned almost everything… hair, clothing, jewelry, gowns, men’s lapels, home décor and china, and stationery, to name a few. A young man could either please or displease a lady…by his gift of flowers. Flowers would convey messages of love or dislike depending upon which ones were given, their size, how they were held or even arranged together. They had a silent meaning of their own, and could "say" what was not dared to be spoken. Even the manner in which flowers were sent had a special meaning. A flower presented in an upright position represented a "positive thought; whereas one presented in the opposite direction had a negative meaning. Too, a person could say "yes" by offering a flower with the right hand - the left hand "no."
Dictionaries were written to explain this language to all, and were especially used by lovers. It is understood that roses symbolized love in general, but each variety and color has its own meaning. The Lily generally symbolized beauty, but it also has many varieties, thus many diversified meanings. Consider the quandary that could have developed if lover’s used two different dictionaries with each possibly having its own connotation. There could, potentially, be some real misunderstandings! So, we see the importance of acquiring accurate information in this regard. Those of the Victorian era liked to make up bouquets. Tussie-Mussies were generally very well liked gifts. These were small bouquets of flowers wrapped in a lace doily and tied with satin. The intrigue of secret messages sent this way, became a popular pastime. Speak with finesse and bring the Language of Flowers into your modern day romance. Incidentally, be sure to include an accompanying card that explains their meaning!
Anniversaries mark that special occasion when a wedding, 1st date, or even start of employment or some other event was commenced. Flowers are an excellent gift to send on a anniversary to communicate love, continued devotion, pride, and remembrance to someone special. Though anniversaries have a long-recognized list of appropriate gifts associated with each year, sending a beautiful floral arrangement or gift basket are the perfect way to start that special day.
Plants come in many differing shapes, sizes, colors, and textures. Giving a plant as a gift is appropriate for most occasions. Give a small potted plant to that student going away to college. A Spathiphyllum plant makes an excellent housewarming gift. A Ficus bush or tree can brighten up a dreary office, and a dish garden is a perfect gift to send "just because".
Birthdays have long been an excellent opportunity to celebrate the date marking one's appearance into the world. Though the customs involved in these celebrations vary from culture to culture, it usually involves the inclusion of family and friends, accompanied by the giving or receiving of gifts. No matter the age or gender, a beautiful bouquet of flowers is always appreciated. Another popular gift for the birthday would be a gift basket or gourmet basket, filled to the brim with a wide selection of items. These can include exotic or traditional fruit; candy, such as fine chocolates or commercial candy bars or other sweets; or a broad selection of delicious gourmet foods and wines including cheeses, breadsticks, cookies, and more. They can also include gifts such as stuffed plush teddy bears or other characters; holiday gift items; and gifts for the baby or new mom.
The history of roses is long and eventful; roses are the classic floral gift as the perfect expression of love, devotion, and sympathy. The rose has long been symbolically connected to love, and all of its permutations. The earliest fossil records of the rose date back 35 million years. They have symbolized war, politics, love and beauty. In nature, the genus Rosa has some 150 species spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere, from Alaska to Mexico and including northern Africa. Garden cultivation of roses began some 5,000 years ago, probably in China, while later record of roses and other flowers being cultivated was attributed to Babylonia and Assyria and was later passed on to civilizations to Europe. The European/Mediterranean roses or their forebears have been grown and loved since the earliest days of history. Wreaths of Damask-like roses have been found in Egyptian tombs; seemingly the same rose—also called 'The Holy Rose” has been grown down to our own days in holy places in eastern Africa. Frescoes painted during the heyday of the Minoan culture on Crete show roses. Venus and Aphrodite were identified by both Romans and Greeks by the rose as the goddesses of love. During the Roman period, roses were grown extensively in the Middle East. Early garden roses were considered a wild species, though they were later grown for their beauty, scent, rose-water, rose-oil, and later for medicinal and horticultural purposes. These coarse and unrefined plants were the genetic ancestors of roses now known as Galicia, Damask, Alba, Centifolia and Moss. In 3000 B.C., in what is now Iraq, the Sumerians created the first written record of the rose. Sappho, in her 600 B.C. "Ode to the Rose," referred to this beauty as the queen of flowers. Both the Greeks and the Romans uses roses in their festivals; both sacred and profane, while Roman nobility established large public rose gardens in the south of Rome. They were used as confetti at celebrations, for medicinal purposes, and as a source of perfume. The Romans were so sophisticated that they developed a hot-house technology which allowed them to "force" roses into more bloom; they also imported roses from Egypt. Wild roses placed on the door of a room symbolized a place where matters of confidence were discussed. Furthermore, roses were associated by early Christians with Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the blood of the Christian martyrs. The garden roses of these most ancient times in Europe and the Mediterranean were seemingly the Damasks, the Gallicas, and perhaps the Albas. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the popularity of roses seemed to rise and fall depending on gardening trends of the time.
During the Middle Ages, these roses retained a certain religious use, not only as decorations and adjuncts to (now Christian) holy festivals, but also as denizens of the medicinal gardens. Their medicinal associations as well as the simple human delight in their fragrance brought about the distillation-of-rose-essence industry, which still has local importance in a few areas of Europe (formerly France, now primarily Bulgaria).
With the end of the Middle Ages and the rise of the merchant class, commerce in horticultural material began to flourish. Due to their fleet of trading ships and the peculiarities of their geography, the Netherlands became (and continue) a great center of horticultural business. During the fifteenth century, the rose was used as a symbol for the factions fighting to control England. The white rose symbolized York, and the red rose symbolized Lancaster, as a result, the conflict became known as the "War of the Roses."
In the 16th century, colonists brought the rose to North America, making it the longest cultivated European plant in this country. Roses were in such high demand during the seventeenth century that royalty considered roses or rose water as legal tender, and they were often used as barter and for payments.
In 1798, Empress Josephine acquired her palace at Malmaison and created the most remarkable rose garden ever planted. It included every variety known at the time. Around 1800, the French became interested in roses and the rose industry. This interest was fueled by the French Empress Josephine, who surrounded herself with adepts in all fields of interest to her—one was Botany—while she consoled herself at the palace of Malmaison over her divorce from her beloved Napoleon. At this palace, she collected all the available sorts of roses, and encouraged the breeding and hybridizing of new ones. Various wild roses grow throughout the Northern Hemisphere at sites ranging from riparian and swampy all the way to those of the desert. This garden became the setting for Pierre Joseph Redoute's work as a botanical illustrator. In 1824, he completed his watercolor collection "Les Rose," which is still considered one of the finest records of botanical illustration. By the 19th century, the Chinese had developed perpetually blooming roses, and roses have since been cultivated into a myriad of colors, sizes, shapes, and fragrances.
Two geographical groupings which, at first, developed separately have had—both in their separation and in their ultimate combination—the greatest impact on rose history: The European/Mediterranean group and the Oriental group and their hybrids. It was not until the early 19th century, following the introduction of cultivated roses from China, that deliberate cross-breeding began. Once the secret of this became available gardeners then started to cross every available rose, which resulted in so many new varieties, that an attempt was made to put them in order in 1837 and again in 1848. Many of the groups then recognized still exist and new ones have emerged since.
It wasn't until the late eighteenth century that cultivated roses were introduced into Europe from China. Most modern-day roses can be traced back to this ancestry. Many of these early efforts by plant breeders are of great interest to today's gardeners. Roses are once again enjoying resurgence in popularity, specifically, shrub roses and old garden roses. Gardeners realize that these roses fit the lifestyle of today's gardeners who want roses that are not as demanding with regard to disease control, offer excellent floral quality, have excellent winter hardiness, and fit into shrub borders and perennial gardens without seeming out of place.
