Where the name comes from

Why a Madison Avenue shop is called Jerome

William Peter Stamos came to America from Greece in the early 1900s. He started the shop on Jerome Avenue in the Bronx. That's the Jerome.

In May 1929 the shop moved to Madison Avenue and 96th Street, and the name came along. It's been on that corner ever since, in the hands of three generations of Stamos florists. Today Peter and Constantine run it.

From our door, Museum Mile is a block west on Fifth and Mount Sinai is a short walk north. Our Upper East Side flower delivery starts from that corner and goes out with our own drivers.

From the shop

Where we'd start

Eliana, hot pink roses with blush orchids and white hydrangea in a leaf-lined cube, is our best seller. For someone who'd rather keep a plant on the windowsill, send the Double Orchid, another top seller.

The blocks around us

Here's the neighborhood, roughly, as it looks from our corner.

  • Carnegie HillOur own blocks: roughly East 86th to 96th, Fifth Avenue to Third.
  • YorkvilleEast of Third Avenue, roughly East 79th to 96th.
  • Lenox HillRoughly East 60th to 77th.
  • The East 60s to 90sPark Avenue doormen, Lexington walk-ups and plenty of package rooms.
  • Hospitals nearbyLenox Hill on East 77th; Weill Cornell, HSS and Sloan Kettering around East 68th-70th.
  • Hotels nearbyThe Carlyle at 76th and The Mark at 77th, both at Madison; The Lowell on East 63rd between Madison and Park.

Getting it past the lobby

A few details keep flowers out of the package room.

  • Doorman building: add the apartment number and the name the building knows them by.
  • Walk-up: the name on the buzzer and the floor.
  • Office: company name, floor, and a phone number someone at the front desk answers.
  • Hospital: the patient's full name, the room number, the area or wing, and a phone number.
  • Hotel: the guest's name exactly as booked and the check-in date. We call the hotel to try to schedule, but they don't always confirm names; we go as far as they let us.

Good questions

It's 2:45. Can the flowers still go today?
They can. 3 PM ET is a guideline, not a promise, and even an order placed after 3 isn't out of the question. Call the shop before you order and we'll check. For a hospital or an office, the guideline is 1 PM ET, since front desks can stop taking deliveries in the late afternoon; after that, call us right after you order.
Can I send flowers to someone in intensive care?
Some units, such as intensive care, don't allow flowers, so check with the unit before you order. If they say no, a plant waiting at home makes a good welcome back; for someone after a transplant or on chemo, ask the family first.
The name says Jerome. Do you deliver to the Bronx?
Not through the website, which is a little funny given where we started. Checkout won't take Bronx, Staten Island, Nassau or New Jersey zip codes. If yours is refused, give us a call.
What if something's wrong when it arrives?
Call or email jeromeflorists1@gmail.com within 3 days of delivery or pickup. That's our refund window, and we'd rather hear about it than not.
Which parts of the Upper East Side do you deliver to?
All of it, from the East 60s up to 96th Street and from Fifth Avenue to the East River, including Carnegie Hill, Yorkville and Lenox Hill. Delivery anywhere in Manhattan is $15, and you pick the date at checkout.
