Personal life
Rose is close personal friends with and  and the three run a flower shop on market street. She's not a great businesspony, but her goods and work ethic is top notch, securing her a huge customer base. During Hearths Warming season, they instead work at a gift wrapping shop with Dr. Hooves She's great friends with and seems to know Dr. Hooves, since they work together.

Personality
Rose is friendly, cheerful, sweet and kind. Like most ponies of Ponyville, she is however quite cowardly and emotional. Rose seems particularly quick to scare as she faints at the sight of incoming terror and could barely speak in the presence of a walking, talking tree. Rose cares deeply for her flowers and can't stand to see flowers mistreated. However, given her passive nature, she doesn't seem to take action when flowers are being harmed, instead she quivers. She's shown an angrier side of her personality from time to time, such as yelling at Dr. Hooves for slouching on the job.

Behind the scenes
Rose first appeared in Applebuck Season as early as season 1, but she wouldn't have a speaking role until The Cutie Pox in season 2, though has spoken in the manga story The Titter Tree. Although Rose has been one of the less appearing background characters, Rose has still found herself used in several pieces of spin-off material. She's one of the very few background ponies to appear in the manga series, much less one of the few characters to actually speak in the series, even if her dialogue was purely reactionary. Rose has become somewhat popular in the fandom, likely due to having developed relationships with others and for her sweet and kind, yet gossiping and cowardly personality. One of the things that makes Rose unique is the fact that unlike several other background characters, Rose doesn't appear much in crowd shots, and is either the focus or shares focus of most shots featuring her.

Portrayal
In Slice of Life and It Isn't the Mane Thing About You, Rose's voice was portrayed by Kazumi Evans, who also does the voices of and, as well as a few singing roles. In the German dub, Rose was voiced by Anna Dramski.
