Editorial Review for River Oaks Plant House – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
One of the best-known topiary shops in the country, River Oaks Plant House is also something of a local landmark, filling the intersection of Westheimer Road and Buffalo Speedway with its exuberant collection of leafy monkeys, reindeer, peacocks, dinosaurs, camels, elephants, longhorn steers and the occasional golfer. One of Houston's busiest florists, River Oaks offers its mostly upscale customers a wide variety of cut flowers, plants and dried floral arrangements.

Poor customer service and flowers. Want problems rectify with satisfaction, this is NOT the place to go. I agree totally with the other reviews regarding negative results. My boyfriend purchased flowers for Valentine's Day, paid over $100 and I received dead and dying flowers. Randall Groceries sends out a new arrangement when customers are not satisfied. Also, cannot go wrong with Albert Miller Flowers - 713.529.8721 (Allen Parkway & Waugh Dr.)!!
Pros: Nice atmosphere
Cons: Very bad customer service, buyer beware of having dead flowers delivered

I ordered an anniversary arrangement of flowers by phone worth $100 to be delivered end of Dec. '08. The so called arrangement consisted of a few medium size and small roses, a cabbage and some apples stuck in a small glass vase! I could have put together something better if I had bought flowers at the nearby Randalls grocery store for $10.00. On top of that, the flowers all died within 3 days of delivery. I would not recommend the service nor the flowers sold here. Beware!!!
Cons: poor quality of flowers, outrageously expensive vs. comptetion, poor service
