ICONIC: The Rose Estate served as a witness to generational icons from music to the fight for women’s equality. The home serves as a powerful connection to Detroit’s storied history in Motown and equal rights. They left a legacy and imprint, infusing personal touches only they could leave behind. MAJESTIC: Nestled on the legendary Detroit Golf Club, The Rose overlooks the 7th Hole as designed by the world’s top course designer, Donald Ross – commissioned by Henry Ford himself, a club member. With brick and stone, its five chimney stacks, this gem just may compete for one of the most magical places in residential architecture. TIMELESS: The Rose embodies a timeless blend of elegance. By preserving the property's exquisite craftsmanship, intricate details of stone and rare wood carvings, this Tudor Revival will continue to embed memories within its walls through its heartbeat of history. The Rose shines in nearly 7,000 square feet, including the famous claw-foot rose red bath tub and rose chandeliers. RATES Our rate is offered at an 80% discount based on our costs and one of the lowest in market for square footage and highly competitive. We require three hours at the $90 rate to cover staffing. You are not required to use the entire time. Asking for two hours simply increases the hourly rate to still cover staffing ($125/hr for day time hours). Staff spend at least one hour prepping the home and at least 30 minutes striking. This does not include two hours for cleaning. Our rates will rise later in 2025 to cover costs. WHY CAN WE NOT BOOK FOR *ONE HOUR*: Your safety and quality, your photographer will always request more time for better photos. Anything less results in harm to the shoot and house risking injury as the crew rushes. Example of a professional photog shoot: Unload - 10 mins Review of space options tour - 10 mins Setup first sitting - 5/10 mins First room sitting - 20 mins Second room sitting/setup -20 mins Third room sitting/setup - 20 mins Strike - 5/10 mins Load vehicle - 10 mins Closing walk - 5 mins SPACES: Restrictions include basement lower level, garage, closets, second floor bedrooms, second floor bathrooms, kitchen. Exceptions are granted by request. CLEAN FEE: Don’t forget you’re booking a 7,000 square foot home with 100 year old wood, windows, stone, slate, and plaster where footprints will show on peg placed wide plank board floors every time. It’s your photos and your special moment — we pre-clean the house up to an hour prior to arrival and post your production. If you want the best, this is how it works. Asking to nix it makes us wonder— we are just not a fit. MISSION: To ensure all enjoy the timeless 1920s architecture along the majestic Detroit Golf Club while honoring the iconic, legendary leaders that once lived here. The Rose welcomes all and is fully inclusive to all abilities. The Rose is committed to a diverse supplier network and is LGBTQ+ owned. HOW TO BOOK: We recommend sending inquiries before formally requesting to book. MAKEUP & HAIR Due to fragile flooring, we do not permit makeup or hair stations in the primary spaces. You’re welcome to do in the garage space — we encourage you to “add-on” tables and chairs for that setup. HOLIDAY PRICING Holidays or weekends attached to the holidays is permitted but will add $100 per hour. We are happy to negotiate though we need to cover staff overtime.
