About Our Company

From humble beginnings...

We, of the Russian River Rose Company, greet you and hope to share our love of roses with all of you around the world. The short story: Our family-run nursery got its start in 1990 when our chief collector Jan Tolmasoff took cuttings from a feral rose which now covers the coastal headlands surrounding the village of Mendocino, California. With that one cutting grew a business based in beauty.

Our nursery and show garden are located in Healdsburg, California, about 70 miles north of San Francisco. Click here for directions...

Our collection includes over 650 varieties -- ranging from ancient roses to recent introductions; native species to highly hybridized ones; GIANT shed-eating climbers to micro-minis, and many 'found' roses. We specialize in roses that do well here in Northern California wine country (our roses grow along-side grapevines) in the same wonderful climate that produces the best wine in the world!
