Our Passion for Roses

Sharing Our Passion for Roses Since 2015
In the sun-kissed year of 2015, Gracie and Ryan embarked on a transformative journey when they purchased their first home. Inspired by cherished memories of her grandmother, Gracie, a passionate gardener with a heart full of dreams, envisioned a vibrant rose garden that would bloom in her honor. With love and dedication, the couple planted over 500 exquisite rose bushes, each a unique testament to nature's artistry. As the flowers burst into life, Gracie eagerly shared breathtaking images of their kaleidoscopic colors and captivating varieties on social media. To their delight, requests from floral designers began to flood in, marking the joyful birth of Grace Rose Farm as they began shipping their garden roses both locally and across the nation.
Sometimes, the most beautiful experiences unfold without any blueprint. Gracie and Ryan never set out with the intention of becoming rose farmers, yet the undeniable passion and talent for nurturing plants blossomed within them. Grace Rose Farm emerged from their shared love of cultivating beauty and the indescribable joy that comes from nurturing and sharing these floral treasures.
The inaugural year was a whirlwind of trial and error, transforming their lives and home into a bustling hub of creativity. Their kitchen and living room morphed into energetic processing, wrapping, and boxing stations, while a quaint shed was repurposed into a chilly walk-in cooler, buzzing with the scent of fresh blooms. With every day, they delved into the intricacies of specialized watering and fertilizing schedules, mastered pest management and prevention, navigated the challenges of cold storage and proper shipping techniques, studied weather patterns, and ultimately, forged a new bond with Mother Nature herself. That first year was nothing short of a mesmerizing blur, filled with beauty and hard work.


As the demand for their stunning roses began to swell, Gracie and Ryan soon realized their beloved backyard garden could no longer contain their dreams. Seeking a more expansive canvas for their growing passion, they discovered a charming 10-acre equestrian farm in the picturesque town of Santa Ynez, CA, in 2018. Almost immediately, they set to work, removing acres of horse pastures, tilling and enriching the earth, and establishing efficient irrigation systems. In just three weeks, they carefully transplanted 5,000 roses from their previous farm to new fields where they nurtured an impressive collection of 25,000 rose bushes. Since that momentous transition, Grace Rose Farm has flourished into a cherished brand, delighting in shipping their roses across every corner of the nation.
In 2020, their journey took on even greater significance with the arrival of their daughter, Seraphina! The family joyfully relocated to Ventura County, where they continue to experiment with hundreds of enchanting rose varieties at their farm. Grace Rose Farm is on an exciting quest to introduce new, captivating varieties for home gardeners.
Every day, inquiries pour in from enthusiastic Grace Rose Farm fans eager to learn the secret to growing roses that resemble those in their stunning images. For Gracie, cultivating garden roses has been her artistic endeavor for the past decade, and she is now embarking on thrilling projects to share her expertise and insights with her audience.
As Grace Rose Farm continues to thrive, Gracie and Ryan are reminded daily of the powerful lesson they learned during that initial year: growing exquisite garden roses not only creates beauty but also weaves connections and spreads joy throughout the world.
Today, Grace Rose Farm collaborates with distinguished rose breeders and top growers from around the globe. The farm unites with those who share their passion for roses, all while prioritizing sustainable practices and fostering a fulfilling workplace. We invite you to discover our commitment to nurturing garden roses that are as friendly to people as they are to the planet.

Grace Rose Farm Begins
Our First 500 Roses
With only a plan to plant roses in our garden, a business was quickly born from our passion. We shared photos of our roses on social media and soon after, florists began to contact us for roses for their weddings. Without hesitation, we went from home gardeners to rose farmers practically overnight!
Growing & Growing
We Moved to Farmland
Demand for our garden roses quickly outgrew what we could grow in our 1/2 acre garden, so we leased our first two acres of farmland where we planted 5,000 roses. In 2017 we provided roses for more than 2,000 floral designers and learned so much about farming. It was a year of rapid growth and soaking in everything we could about caring for roses in the thousands.
Our First Farm
We Bought a Farm
We quickly outgrew our leased farmland and sought to own our own farm so we could grow more roses and cultivate the land as we saw fit for our roses. In 2018 we purchased our first farm in Santa Ynez, California. We also adopted our three beautiful Great Pyrenees dogs, Buddy, Ellie Rose and Emmie June. Life on a farm was beautiful yet hectic!
A Year of Education
Making Friends
In 2019 we held two workshops at our farm for aspiring florists and rose farmers. This year we met so many wonderful people who we still call friends and share our experiences with so we can learn from one another. We served over 3,000 wedding florists in 2019 and harvested more than 1 million stems! 2019 brought about challenging weather including multiple brutal heatwaves, wildfires, drought and an early season ending frost.
A Year of Change
A Pivotal Year
As COVID affected so many businesses, ours was no exception. While the wedding industry, our primary business at the time, was shut down due to COVID, new opportunities arose for us. In the spring of 2020, we pivoted our business to offer roses direct to flower lovers via our website and began shipping bouquets nationwide. We grew exponentially in 2020, a year we thought may be the end of our farm due to so few weddings taking place. We are so thankful that the flower lovers in the country embraced us and our roses!
We Became Parents
Seraphina Grace Rose
On May 25th, Seraphina came into the world and has been our best blessing. Her loving and selfless birthmother chose us to raise Seraphina amongst the roses and we couldn't be more grateful to her. Seraphina is smart, funny, so loving and a joy to all around her! She enjoys dancing, swimming, and being a leader at preschool.
Another New Farm
We Moved (Again)!
To keep up with demand, and be closer to our families, we decided to relocate back to Ventura County, California. We purchased our 20-acre farm in the beautiful and quaint farming community of Somis. We are surrounded by rolling hills, avocado and citrus orchards and we have perfect rose growing weather (most of the time)! Our farm is home to more than 1,000 rose varieties that we grow and evaluate for future release.
A New Partner
Alexandra Farms x GRF
In order to offer our roses all year long to consumers, we sought out the best rose growers in the world. We quickly found Alexandra Farms, a boutique grower like GRF, that grows garden roses for our clients year-round. Since Alexandra Farms is on the equator, they do not have seasonal downtime like we do in the northern hemisphere. Alexandra Farms is our closest partner and essential to GRF's offerings. They truly grow the most beautiful roses in the world!
Budding New Venture
Rose Bushes for Home Gardeners
After two years of trialing varieties at our farm, we planted our first crop of roses that would be harvested for home gardeners to grow! We made relationships with breeders around the world that are creating roses for us and our amazing rose community. We have used our connection with our rose community to listen to what they want to grow so we can bring them the finest roses for their gardens.
Curated By Gracie
New Bouquets & Bushes
In 2023 we began to offer more curated offerings from our Founder, Gracie. She interacts with our wonderful rose community online and in person when possible. She creates both rose bouquet and rose bush packages for our clients. At any given time Gracie is working on more than 50 new products and always with our clients' wishes at the heart of her choices.
A Four Year Project
Our First Book is Published
GARDEN ROSES: The Complete Guide to Growing & Arranging Spectacular Blooms is published in March 2024 by Hatchett. The book was a four year project that highlights more than 100 rose varieties and how to grow them. The book has been very well received amongst rose and flower lovers and is versatile for both beginners and experienced growers.
100 Varieties & Counting
Roses Galore
The farm's second crop of rose bushes is growing and will provide thousands of rose growers with unique, beautiful roses. This crop was more than four years in the making and a testament to Gracie's commitment to not give up on her dreams of bringing new roses to the market for gardeners. Despite numerous setbacks, Grace Rose Farm is most proud of this spectacular crop of rose bushes.
