He inherited his first rosebush, 'Climbing American Beauty', from a previous owner of his house, who planted it there around 1910. Stephen Scanniello is is a recipient of the Great Rosarians of the World (GROW) Award for 1009, president of the Heritage Rose Foundation, a member of the American Rose Society, and a judge for the international rose trials in Europe and the United States.
