Editorial Review for Root Stock & Quade – by Lisa Marie Rovito
The Scene
A glimpse of this modern floral shop's client list--Vogue, Metropolitan Home, River Cafe, Helmut Lang--tells the tale: quality, class and up-to-the-minute style. Designer Kerry Quade put in 11 years in the flower profession before starting her own Park Slope store and events business. Artistic bridal work is her specialty. She frequently designs for weddings at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Prospect Park Picnic House and the Puck Building.
The Goods
Two kitties watch over the store, with its lush abundance of potted and hanging plants, herbs, orchids, seeds and daily fresh-cut flowers. As for arrangements, "all flowers, no greens" is the policy. The most striking brim with different textures in mono- and duo-chromatic tones. Kerry has an art background, with a soft spot for sculptural and theatrical designs. Brides and clients alike appreciate her lack of "packages"--everything is custom-designed and custom-priced to suit the individual and the occasion.

So I live in Park Slope but work at a magazine in midtown. My partner ordered flowers from Rootstock--on the phone, so the bouquet was not planned by him--and they arrived at work around 11:30 Valentine's Day. Just beautiful. Interesting arrangement, exotic flowers (there are even raspberries in it), cool vase, trendy low arrangement, and not in the least bit gaudy. I can't thank them enough for doing such a great job and I can't believe how early they arrived. This was his first order from there, and I know we will be using them again.

We used Kerry and crew for our June wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. We can not express in writing how gorgeous all of the flowers were! We would not have changed a single thing about them. We told Kerry our color ideas and let her do her thing. It was amazing - our personalities were totally reflected in the flowers!! We were THRILLED! The bridal bouquet was unbelievable. Everyone was asking what types of flowers they were because they were just so stunning and different. The centerpieces were gorgeous - lush and overflowing with flowers...We can not recommend enough!!!!
