Welcome to The Rose Manor!

This grand home was built circa 1906 for Colonel Hugh Alexander Rose II and redone circa 1920 in Tudor Revival style, characterized by exposed timbers with stucco infill. The exterior style was changed to Tudor because the Colonel was fascinated with the style while serving in Europe during WWI.

The property boasts beautiful outdoor space with views of the adjacent Welland Canal. All rooms include private ensuites.

We strive to make your stay as memorable and enjoyable as possible and truly hope you feel at home at the Rose Manor.

Meet Your Innkeepers:

The Rose Manor is owned and operated by Kristen and Kathryn Groom. Both sisters were born and raised in Niagara and grew their love of travel and hospitality together with their family visiting multiple destinations from a young age. The Groom family has been a part of the Welland community since the mid 1950s. We are excited to continue to build our lives in the area and continue to call Niagara home.
