Rosefield is a historic plantation house located at Windsor, Bertie County, North Carolina. It was built in three sections, with the oldest built about 1786–1791. It is a two-story, five-bay, L-plan frame dwelling with Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival style design elements. It has a two-story, two-bay addition and a two-story rear addition built in 1855. It features a hip roof front porch. Also on the property are the contributing small frame outbuilding, office, dairy, and family cemetery.[2]

The house was named for the fact a bed of wild roses grew at the original site.[3]
