Just wanted to let you know that I received a delivery yesterday, a thank-you bouquet from ITVS. It was one of the most beautiful arrangements I’ve ever received. I worked at Chez Panisse for many years, and the flowers, branches and berries in the bouquet you made brought the poetry and sensibility of the arrangements at the restaurant right to my desk. I can’t stop gazing over at them. Just wanted to say thank you.

There are painters and there are artists. There are florists and there is Pat Miller. The correlation is that simple.
Every detail is masterfully executed, creating combinations that challenge color, texture, space, line, and tantalizing all of the senses. You don’t get that from just any florist.
Since I moved to San Francisco in 1995 I have used them both for my home and for my office and for personal and business gifts here and around the world. They are a creative, unique and cherished part of San Francisco.
Michael Tilson Thomas, San Francisco Symphony
If you have any reason at all to pay homage to a dear friend, special someone or just make a permanent impression on whomever should be so lucky, then your search for the perfect florist should end here. The creative genius behind ‘A Bed of Roses’, Pat Miller, creates such visually tantalizing pieces of artistry which undoubtedly leave no room for words due to ecstatic delight.
Whether you are looking for a weekly delivery for your work or office space, or want to show your love, ‘A Bed of Roses’ has proven to me again and again that they are creating pieces which are most certainly everything BUT the ordinary! With a clientèle which has included Katharine Hepburn and Sharon Stone, to name just a few, I couldn’t help but have a new level of respect for their choice in floral artistry.
Thank you for your on-going contribution to the general joy of the world.
David Bryan, Bear Stearns
You continue to deliver works of art, while other florists merely deliver flowers.

I have sent flowers to many client before but never have I had a client write me to tell me how exquisite the flowers were–so Pat’s work really made the lasting impression I was looking for.
So we had a baby boy and our mantle was full of flowers, a big row of them all next to each other. A friend was over and I watched as her eyes went from left to right, almost studying the different arrangements. When she got about 3/4 of the way across, her eyes widened and, normally quite a shy and quiet woman, she exclaimed, “Whoa! Who did THAT one?” I looked at which one she was gawking at and it came from Pat Miller’s shop. “THAT one isn’t just a bouquet, that one is a work of art!”
Thank you, Pat.
In 36 business years of sending flowers, I have never had such wonderful comments and feedback as I’ve had with A Bed of Roses! My favorite story is going to a funeral service and having the son of the deceased come up to me and, referring to the floral arrangement, tell me that I have such “class” and that I always do the right thing. With all that was on his mind he made a point of commenting on the flowers. It made me look good and as a result, made me feel proud.

I’ve never written a thank you note for flowers to the florist sending them before–but, thank you A Bed of Roses wizard! The arrangement was so artful…I felt like the Queen of England getting the royal treatment.

Flowers can say a thousand words, a Bed of Roses bouquets says a million!

Pat Miller is not just a florist, she is a gifted artist with flowers as her medium. To watch her work is like watching a master sculptor, and her creations are spectacular and absolutely unique.
– Julia Ten Eyck, Attorney at Law
Pat is able to make designs that say what you want to say and are well received because she works hard to reflect the personality and teh preferences of the recipient. In this case, it really is the “thought that counts.”

I would give this 10 stars if I could. Since 1991, I have been sending gorgeous arrangements from A Bed of Roses. No matter what the occasion, Pat makes sure the arrangement is custom designed and personalized and she has been with me through celebrations, special events, birthdays, thank yous and even funerals, with arrangements that say far more than words ever could. With my fooderati friends she incorporates herbs, fruit and even vegetables (baby artichokes are my favorite). For a baker glorious wheat grasses were added and for a fly fisherman she even found flies! Just this week a last minute thank you arrangement to a client resulted in an immediate, enthusiastic call.The client was ever so impressed and grateful as am I for A Bed of Roses. Thank you Pat!
Two pastry chefs who have traveled the world studying in the major cities and visiting flower shops as their second love said, “A Bed of Roses is the best shop in the world and we had to come back to tell you.”
I first saw the quality of Pat’s work when I referred her to a general contractor I knew. They have now used her repeatedly to send gorgeous bouquets and unique arrangements to their clients.
Then, I got the personal touch by asking Pat to create something for my wife for Valentine’s Day. “Oh my God,” I said when the arrangement arrived. My wife loved it. I loved it. And everyone was thrilled with her service. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Many thanks for the lovely flowers–now & all year!
Danielle Steel
You literally feel as if you could step into one of her bouquets and get carried away to Never Never Land. She brings detail, beauty and transformation all in one! I could not have asked for a more beautiful creation than one of Pat Miller’s designs:)
- Janice Ruiz
The work was the aesthetic counterpoint to the uninspired, symmetrical cones of flowers that are standard in virtually every other shop and look the same, whether the outlet is in Boise, Idaho or Sarasota, Florida.
Bill Knickel, Partner, First Team Environmental
Even the smallest arrangement is an Eden in miniature. They combine colors and shapes with a subtle flair that astounds.
James R. Gaughran, News Producer, KPIX-TV
For many years our company has used and depended up the excellent service and high quality that has become a trademark of “A Bed of Roses.”
Tom Leonardis, President, Whoop, Inc. (Whoopi Goldberg’s Company)
The flowers flowed so naturally from its vase that I thought I sat in an English garden.
– Ira Potovsky, retired teacher
A Bed of Roses does outstanding, artful floral arrangements of all kinds and for all occasions. Very reasonable and great service!! I use them regularly to reward my real estate clients at transaction closings, “open houses,” etc.”
– Richard Hippard, Realtor
Pat’s work is exquisite it’s true. Her arrangements evolve and bloom over several days, and serve as a meditation on the beauty of impermanence.
I sent some of her flowers to a client recently, only to have them call in awe an hour after they arrived.
I’ve heard people talk in hushed tones about the old shop on Union street and what a marvel it was. The good news is Pat now offers a custom service, and same day delivery. Her prices are also extraordinarily reasonable.
– Stellah DeVille, Graphic Designer
“These comparisons may seem extreme but I can think of no better way to put it: Just as gifted musicians are greater than the sum of their parts under the direction of a great conductor so too are the beautiful flowers arranged by Pat Miller at A Bed of Roses. I have seen their arrangements literally arrest the attention of an entire room of the most discriminating people as they gather around and exclaim their delight. What could please a sender more! Their creations are so engaging they are not unlike a master’s painting that makes you stop and take note of it and then impels you to be still and be with it as you explore and get lost in its nuances. Each thoughtful arrangement is unique and yet has a signature quality- more than once I’ve heard someone exclaim that “It must be from A Bed of Roses!” Masterpieces, symphonies, whatever you like, if you want to make a lasting impression I heartily encourage you to send A Bed of Roses arrangement or experience one for yourself — they are simply amazing!”
