The garden is the last luxury of our times because it requires what has become most rare and most precious in our society: time, attention and space. It is a true reflection of nature in which, again, we require spirit, knowledge and handicraft skills in careful dealing with the world and its microcosm, the garden.
(Dieter Kienast)

Gut Rosenhof stands as much for classical equestrianism in its original form as it does for horticulturalism under extreme climatic conditions. The same motto applies to both: The way is the goal.

as the symbol of love, perfection and beauty was the inspiration for the name Gut Rosenhof. Characteristics which should form the foundations as well as aims for which to strive in equestrianism as well as horticulturalism.

Wild roses ("Rosa rugosa"…), Gallica roses ("Tuscany"…), Damask roses ("Trigintipetala"…), Alba roses ("Chloris"…), Climbing roses ("Santana"…), Ramblers ("Albéric Barbier"…), Ground-covering roses ("Magic Meidiland"), Rugosa roses ("Rugelda"…), Shrub roses ("Heidekönigin"…), Polyantha roses ("The Fairy"),  Floribunda- roses ("Gruß an Aachen"…), English roses ("Graham Thomas"…), Bourbon roses ("Honorine de Brabant"…) are the main categories of roses planted in the garden of Gut Rosenhof.

In order to be displayed in their full splendour roses must be complemented by other surrounding plants. For what is a queen without her royal household? This is why over 1000 herbaceous plants and approximately 10 different types of grasses grow amongst our roses.

A book is like a rose because it can open a reader's heart if he looks at it closely, page for page, or petal for petal….
