History of Jones The Florist

While Jones The Florist is one of Cincinnati's oldest continuing businesses, it's antecedents reputedly go back to Holland 300 or more years, where the Jonaz family were probably horticulturists to the Court. When the family immigrated to the United States, the name was changed to "Jones." Jones The Florist was founded in the Cincinnati area in 1865, at the close of the Civil War. It seems to have been originally called Newport Fern & Floral and was located across the Ohio River from Cincinnati in Newport, Kentucky. The company moved across the river, probably to its former East McMillan Street location in the Walnut Hills area of Cincinnati around 1900. At this time, Walnut Hills was one of the fast developing and very "stylish" suburbs of the growing city. In the late 1920's, Jones The Florist had outgrown its Walnut Hills building and a new structure was designed and built on the same East McMillan site by Joseph Poetker, architect husband of Frances Jones Poetker, who was then the owner and granddaughter of the founder. The 3 story Spanish style atrium building was completed in 1929 and the company continued its growth. During Frances Jones Poetker's ownership, Jones The Florist grew into a nationally recognized floral business, known particularly for beautiful weddings, lavish parties, and lovely sympathy florals.

In 2022 we acquired Bloomtastic Florist in Columbus OH and expanded our delivery area to include the gorgeous city. Our Columbus location specializes in fantastic wedding flowers, gorgeous plant arrangements, seasonal floral design classes, and every day flower delivery all over town.
