Our Story
Der Rosenmeister is the story of a hobby run amok!
My grandmother, Sadie Wheat, loved growing roses. When she died, I got a cutting from one of her roses, a once blooming rambler, Dr. Van Fleet. It was while trying to identify it that I got hooked on roses.
Der Rosenmeister officially began in April 2003 in the backyard of our home in downtown Ithaca. Needing more room to grow, we moved to our current location in September 2003 on three acres of land just south of the City of Ithaca in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State. We are honored to be one of the nurseries selected by the American Rose Society to participate in their "Save the Ramblers" program. Within the next 2 years we will be offering some ramblers from the Anne Belovich collection that are not available in North America.
