Allen's Flowers & Plants - Escondido (formerly Rosemary Duff Florist)

Experiencia positiva: UPDATE: The manager reached out to me and redelivered the same arrangement and it was leaps and bounds better! Although a little awkward to ask my friend the leave out the old arrangement, I appreciate the florist working to resolve the matter. I have updated my review to a 4-star. Unfortunately, my friend’s brother passed away unexpectedly. I rarely—if ever—leave negative reviews. The person who took my order was very kind and professional. Whenever I send flowers, I always call the shop directly. The representative assured me the flowers were readily available and mentioned that, although they were busy, the arrangements would be very fresh. The flowers were delivered yesterday. I paid extra for Sunday delivery and for a professional arrangement with specific flowers, as promised. What was delivered did not match those expectations. Please see the comparison between what was expected and what was received. I picked this option because it was bright and cheery. If you notice there is more cheap flowers were used. Even the placement of the flowers is poorly done like they just plopped the flowers in the vase with no thought to the arrangement. I am currently waiting for a response from a manager. I am very disappointed and, honestly, embarrassed for my friend who received them during such a difficult time.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience. They delivered flowers at the last minute for a celebration of life for my Aunt. I had gotten the timing mixed up on the service. They quickly got a hold of me and we worked out a solution. I really appreciated all that they did as I was out of state. I am very grateful for them and I will call them again when I need flowers delivered.

Experiencia fantástica: What are the arrangement. Beautiful. Would highly recommend.!

Experiencia fantástica: Great local flower shop, convenient location. Awesome service.

Experiencia fantástica: Dawn is so talented ! Go see her for all your floral needs !

Experiencia fantástica: I received an elegant and unique arrangement from Allen’s Florist. The delivery was terrific and the follow-up to ensure that I received it was even better. My family member that called to place the order was also impressed with the service and reassured that she was giving business to a brick & mortar store.

Experiencia fantástica: I shopped here for the first time during prom season and loved the corsage. Today I went in with my son to pick out 2 bouquets, one for his girlfriend and one for her mom. The lady working was so kind and put together the most stunning bouquets with the few flowers he had picked out! They didn't look like "grocery store" bouquets, they were a million times better. We will be back again!

Experiencia positiva: Not a huge selection at this flower shop.

Experiencia fantástica: Got two arrangements here last minute for Thanksgiving. They did a wonderful job!! They took my inspiration and ran with it, and worked with the fact that I am allergic to many common plants.

Experiencia negativa: I used rosemary duff flowers for a long time. Then allen bought them. I used allen for years. Today, they seem to sti haven't delivered flowers for my mom's birthday. Sucks. Ruined the event/suprise and dropped the ball. I won't be using them anymore. If delivering flowers after hours late in the day is working out for you, then yea.

Experiencia fantástica: Visited the shop this week to order flowers to celebrate our 45th. Absolutely stunning bouquet, excellent service and quality flowers. My wife just loved them! Thanks!

Experiencia fantástica: Purchased 3 bouquets for my daughters and their friend for their dance recital. Very friendly and within 15 minutes I had beautiful arrangements that made all the other bouquets at the dance jealous! She even added “fairy sparkles” and its those little extras that make a big difference!

Experiencia fantástica: Needed to order some last minute flowers for my friend's birthday. The lady on the phone was so sweet and helpful. They were able to accommodate my same-day delivery request. The flowers came as promised and they were absolutely beautiful. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a local florist.

Experiencia fantástica: When my sister was hospitalized, I wanted to send her a really special potted arrangement. I looked at a lot of potted plants at other local florists and was not impressed. Allen's Flowers had unique and gorgeous options. It turned out I had the wrong location, but Savanna went above and beyond to help find the medical facility my sister was at! It meant a lot at a stressful time. First class products and services, cannot recommend these folks highly enough! I used to work at a florist myself, so this is high praise.

Experiencia positiva: They were polite, professional and put together exactly what I wanted the way I wanted it. It was expensive but worth it because my wife loved them...

Experiencia negativa: I ordered flowers for Valentine’s Day and they most definitely gave me an old bouquet with flowers that weren’t fresh. For $90 I expected better than this. The picture taken shows the flowers on Feb 15, not even 24 hours after picking them up. One of the roses was already dying

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly staff and the new remodel gives the store a welcoming feeling. If you are looking for a Florist they will be a great choice!

Experiencia fantástica: So happy with these roses and the prices! I wish I took more photos of the inside it is redecorated beautifully! (There is only 1 fake plant in this whole shop ) The two girls helping had the best customer service and went above and beyond to help me out. BIG Thanks!

Experiencia fantástica: Picked up a few dozen roses.. good quality and great service.

Experiencia positiva: Man as I was driving home today I saw a site I never thought I would see and that being a new name being added to the Rosemary Duff florist building another iconic Escondido family business sadly passing on the reins to Allen's Flowers. All I know is Alan's flowers I hope you truly understand the massive shoes that you have to fill because this florist was one of the best for the last 40 plus years. So THANK YOU to the Rosemary Duffs family for making so many amazing memories over the years that extra bit more special with your amazing dedication to your craft. ALLEN'S Flowers team best of luck I hope you take the ball and run with it!!

Experiencia fantástica: I love this florist. They are amazing. They put a boutonniere and Coursage together for me in time for my Prom. They were so nice and did a beautiful job on my flowers

Experiencia negativa: Purchased a custom made arrangement, paid a premium. Picked up an arrangement which was already in the store with old flowers. Complained to customer care online, I was told the flowers I received were beautiful. Not returning for future purchases.

Experiencia positiva: I am so sad previous owners sold. My husband's and I go to place for every occasion. Unfortunately they do not deliver to any schools. Currently looking for a new flowershop.

Experiencia fantástica: While shopping for flower arrangements online for my mother's memorial service, I was looking to find a standing spray and semi small table arrangement. Something simple and softly color schemed. I found the perfect pair - "Gentle Thoughts" spray and "Grammie" arrangement. Perfect pricing, beautiful arrangements, I couldn't have been happier! So many compliments, they made the service extra special, beautiful, and exactly what my mom would have wanted and deserved! Thank you, thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Far and away the best florist in north county. I moved away a couple of years ago, but recently needed to send flowers to a dear friend.

Experiencia fantástica: My wife really loved the flower arrangement from Rosemary Duff Florist in Escondido. They helped make my wife's birthday celebration very special.

Experiencia negativa: Was super disappointed when my flowers didn’t arrive to my brothers funeral. It was so sad to see his casket with no flowers .. this is a mistake that cannot be justified especially with an occasion like this. I called a day before to order the flowers (I know it’s short notice) however I asked if it was too late to place an order. I was told it wasn’t too late and the lady accepted my order and processed my order. I told her I needed them tomorrow. I’m not sure if she had her days mixed up because when I called after not receiving them they said the order was placed for the day next day from which I wanted. I gave a 2 star instead of 1 because they sent free flowers to my home as an apology. As that was very kind of them I still cannot understand how my flowers weren’t delivered. My brother passed away so young & deserved to have flowers on his casket.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful service and beautiful floral arrangements! Our special occasion was made even better by the beauty supplied by Rosemary Duff Florist. All the guests raved at how stunning the flowers were. We highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: My family has been using (the amazingly wonderful & talented) Sue at Rosemary Duff for over 20 years. For my wedding, it was a no brainer to have my bouquet done by Rosemary Duff Maryanne created the bouquet of my dreams. I wanted an ALL flower (no greenery), all pink bouquet & boy....did she deliver. It was the most stunning, perfect thing I've ever seen. I showed Maryanne a few inspiration pictures & did everything entirely over FaceTime (I live on the east coast) & I couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect, beautiful bouquet. Do not hesitate to use this unbelievably talented florist for your flower needs. Thank you Maryanne!

Experiencia fantástica: Rosemary Duff Florist always goes above and beyond. No matter how small or large your order, it will always be a beautiful, artistic creation. Thank you again RDF!

Experiencia fantástica: Living in South Carolina and sending flowers to California can be a pain but you always know they will arrive beautiful fresh every time thank you so much, my mom love them!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I found Rosemary-Duff Florist when I googled florists in or near Escondido. I was hosting the rehearsal dinner for my son and his fiancée and the venue was in Escondido.

Mary Ann was very helpful in discussing my options. I returned with my future daughter-in-law when it was closer to the wedding. Mary Ann spent time showing us different combinations of flowers and greens until we all agreed on the arrangements. When I entered the venue on the night of the rehearsal dinner, the florals arrangements were beyond my expectations! They were gorgeous!!!! I received many compliments on them from the guests. I will definitely use Rosemary-Duff Florist again!!! I recommend them to anyone who wants amazing flowers for any occasion!!
