In Spring 1883, Roeder moved back to Dresden, where he became editor of the magazine Deutsches Dichterheim, an organ for poetry and criticism.
In 1886, he left this post and became an employee of the Dresdner Anzeiger, later published by Henry Hugo Pierson (1848-1919) Neuen poetischen Blättern.
[2] Until his death in spring 1897, Roeder was chairman of a "Verein zur Pflege der Literatur", the Litterarische Gesellschaft,[3] of which the poet Adele Osterloh (1857-1946) was a member.
[5] In July 1907, Adelaide Milanollo-Roeder gave up her position as a teacher at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber.
She married her brother-in-law, the engineer Julius Roeder, a brother of her late husband, and from 1 September 1907 she lived with him[6] in Bous (Saar).
