Rose was born and raised in Austin, Texas. Her passion for gardening developed from summers spent tending her grandparents enormous flower beds and garden. They owned 2500 acres and had a belief in living off the land - so there was plenty for Rose to learn! During the past decade Roses horticultural knowledge has developed under the tutorage of Debbie and Brett Boyd owners of Greenlife Nursery in Waco, Texas. Rose developed fertilization and organics programs and began a landscape design operation, managing all aspects of its growth. Her work has appeared in the press.

Whilst having managed projects for TX-DOT and large commercial installations, her real passion lies in creating beauty in residential gardens and working closely with her clients to share the joy.
