NeuHouse Farms has acquired Weeks Roses. NeuHouse Farms has been involved in the bareroot rose trade for more than three generations and in the broader nursery business for four. The farm is now led by the husband-and-wife team of Dan Waterhouse and Nancy Neufeld, representing the fourth generation of family leadership to own and operate the farm. Their twin sons, Will and Zeb Waterhouse, returned two years ago after graduating college, continuing the family legacy into its fifth generation. And at 84, the third generation, Jim Neufeld, still comes to work every day.

The company currently produces over eight million bareroot roses annually for leading wholesale partners, including Star Roses & Plants, David Austin Roses, Altman Plants, and Certified Nurseries. With the addition of Weeks Roses, NeuHouse not only expands its portfolio but also continues its longstanding commitment to delivering the highest quality and most reliable roses in the industry.
"Bringing Weeks Roses under the NeuHouse Farms family is both an honor and a natural next step," said Zebulon Waterhouse, representing the next generation of the NeuHouse family. "Weeks' land and office sit just across the street from our farm, so this transition feels less like a move, and more like extending the property line. We've worked side-by-side in the fields for years, and now we have the opportunity to preserve and grow the Weeks legacy for generations to come."
Founded in 1938, Weeks Roses is recognized worldwide for introducing many of the most unique and beloved rose varieties in history, including Julia Child, Koko Loko, Ketchup & Mustard, Twilight Zone, and many more. "Our family has always believed that progress in horticulture comes from working together," said Waterhouse. "Through continued cooperation with our wholesale partners, we hope to make an even wider selection of top-quality roses available throughout the industry. The goal is to strengthen the entire rose trade, not just our own footprint."

"This acquisition reaffirms our family's commitment to the rose industry," said Waterhouse. "Our goal is not just to maintain what has made Weeks great, but to invest in its future through better genetics, improved production quality, and a renewed focus on serving growers, garden centers, and consumers alike."
"Roses are at the heart of who we are," Waterhouse added. "Our family has devoted generations to growing them, and Weeks has spent generations sharing their beauty with the world. Together, we'll ensure that the tradition of American roses not only continues but thrives."
