HISTORY

The Antique Rose Emporium’s display gardens were begun in 1984. Owner, Mike Shoup, wanted to showcase old garden roses in new ways. His vision revolved around using the roses in gardens filled with herbs, natives, perennials and varied other plants, rather than the fussy rose gardens that were the norm. 

These Texas-tough survivors were rescued from old ‘home places,’ cemeteries and road sides, and brought back into commerce.  

Since its inception, The Antique Rose Emporium has grown to include eight acres of landscaped gardens with gift shops, a picnic area and a lovely wedding venue.
