| Flowers by Jerry is Rochester MN's
Premiere Florist for many reasons. Our flowers are the freshest, our prices
are the best and our staff is the friendliest. Our goal is to provide you
with the most beautiful flowers and plants at the best price possible with
the best service possible. We work hard to only deliver products we would
be happy to receive ourselves.
Quality
Because of our new design facility at our North Store and our professional
care and handling, our flowers are always as fresh as possible. We receive
farm direct and fresh flower shipments five days a week and our high volume
insures a constant rotation. Our care & handling techniques like under-water
cutting, correct preservative usage and our clean, temperature controlled
environment insure your flowers will be fresh, fragrant and full of life.
Our facility and volume also help us keep our prices competitive. We are
able to negotiate better pricing and pass the savings on to our customers.
Staff
Our committed staff offer years of experience in all areas of the floral
industry. Kevin & Karry are committed to providing an awesome work
environment for their staff and in turn, the employees are committed to
providing the same experience for their customers. Most of our employees
have been here for years- they’re good at what they do and love
where they do it.
Floral design Staff
Whether you need a bouquet for the hospital, an expression of your sympathy,
or once-in-a-lifetime bouquets for your wedding, our experienced designers
are well versed in the latest trends like Hand-tied bouquets, European
design, and Monochromatic Design. Or if you’d like something more
traditional like a Garden vase, Contemporary or tropical design, or
just a simple basket, our designers are ready & willing to create
a design just for you.
History
There is a Jerry…. Jerry & Marlene Patton opened Flowers by Jerry
in 1968 one block from the Mayo Clinic. Ten years later, they moved to the
current store on the corner of 3rd Ave & 4th St SE. In 1995, Jerry’s
son and daughter-in-law, Kevin & Karry Patton, took over the business
and two years later added another location. Formerly Whitings Flowers and
Greenhouse, the new location on the corner of 10th St & historic Silver
Lake Drive NE added not only a greenhouse, but a new design facility.
Commitment to our customers
From its opening day, Flowers by Jerry has been committed to service &
quality. It is our goal to only provide and deliver the fresh quality
product available with the best service possible. To back up our mission,
we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Rochester Chamber of Commerce. The award was given in part because of
our involvement in community programs like Y Mentor programs, Junior Achievement,
and Boys and Girls Club annual fund-raisers. Other organizations we have
