About Rose Farm
Rose Farm
Travel just 20 minutes outside the city center of Des Moines and be greeted by the beauty of Rose Farm, family-owned and lovingly managed by Flower Farmers Karri and Patrick Rose. With 25 acres of sprawling ground, you will find yourself immediately transplanted to a place of tranquility. The white farmhouse set against the backdrop of deep rolling hills, and the charming, idyllic barn housing The Shoppe at Rose Farm, are neatly nestled on the property. With soaring ceilings, natural light flooding the space, and a Southern sophistication, The Shoppe at Rose Farm house's a community of learners through Lifestyle Workshops, Learning Lectures, and Master Classes, as well as providing a unique boutique experience for special events.
Karri and Patrick developed the dream of Rose Farm a 3-acre flower farm with a deep belief resting in sustainability, stewardship of the land, and conservation. They raise honey bees, harvest hay fields, and create habitats for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife. Multiple breeds of non-GMO fed, free-range hens happily wander and produce a striking array of colored eggs. Fresh herbs are grown from seed, guaranteeing quality from soil to table. Breathtaking fields of flowers delight the senses, filling the air with a sweet aroma and dotting the property with a spectrum of colors. White hydrangeas bloom displaying their lavish, rounded shape, as do several varieties of David Austin English roses, ranunculus, dahlias, tulips, cosmos, and asters. Find an assortment of seasonal florals to welcome the changing of the seasons. Watch the ornamental grasses, Bells of Ireland, and eucalyptus dance in the wind. Blueberries, raspberries, aronia berries, apples, and pear trees provide flavorful fruit, along with many other varieties thriving on the farm.
