Readers' Choice: Best Florist in Woonsocket
Who's your favorite purveyor of flowers?
If a woman in your life says "don't bother buying me flowers," you're probably better off doing it anyway.
Why? Because no matter how traditional of a gift they are, flowers are an immediate pick-me-up. They're fresh, colorful and quite the pleasant surprise.
That said, you can't give just any flowers. (Forgo the carnations and don't even think about picking a few out of the front lawn.) Make it a bouquet, the bigger the better. Roses always win.
Luckily, there are dedicated local florists who can help you get it right.
This week, we want to know: Which florist in town is your favorite?
Is it Park Square Florist, Rogers Flower Shop, Nys Flower Shop, Bileau's Flowers, or Fontana's Flowers and Greenhouses ?
Vote in our poll below, then share your thoughts in the comments section. If we left your favorite florist off the list, note that in the comments as well.
We'll leave the poll up all week then close voting at 9 a.m. Friday. At noon that day, we'll share your top local pick. Then be sure to watch the site over the weekend when we tally up the top votes and announce the florists that got the most rave reviews across all of our Rhode Island sites.
Because this poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined by the Patch editor, based on poll results and reviews on Patch Places. Please vote only once per survey, per Patch.

I'm sorry to say but Bileau's is not very customer friendly. I haven't been there in awhile but last time I was they weren't the nicest and they didn't accept debt or credit cards. Sadly very few people walk around with cash now a days. It's just easier to use debt cards. I was told it was to keep cost down but I didn't see any difference in price when I went to Fontana's and ordered the exact thing. Hopefully things have changed since my last visit.

In my opinion, Roger's Flowers is the best florist in Woonsocket. My family and I have had business with Roger for years and we were never disappointed in his arrangements. We saw other arrangements from other shops and Roger's floral arrangements were much nicer and may I add, at a very reasonable price. I hope he never closes his shop.

I have to say the service is great at Fontana's and the people are very nice!

I have been using Nys for many years and still consider them the best in the city for flower arrangement.

I agree, I had an aweful experience at Bileau's, my Uncle who is elderly and sickley was ordering flowers from them and going without food at his house and when they were approached about it, all they cared about was making their money. They could care less that this man was ill and making purchases that he could not afford and continued allowing him to make astronomical purchases. They are a rip-off and I know a lot people who would never do business with them. Hopefully they'll close their doors soon, cause people like that don't belong in our city.
