Der Rosenmeister officially began in April 2002 in the backyard of our home in downtown Ithaca. Needing more room to grow, we moved to our current location in 2003 on three acres of land overlooking the Inlet Valley and the city of Ithaca in the Finger Lakes of New York State. Leon is a Consulting Rosarian for the American Rose Society and a member of the NY State Nursery & Landscape Association.
