R.O.S.E. FAQs

What is R.O.S.E.?

The R.O.S.E. (The Rose Organization for Socializing and Entertainment) is a social, recreational, entertainment, and record-keeping organization. Activities will include celebrating, documenting, preserving, and exploring things related to lives of Donald F. and Marjorie W. Rose, their twelve children and their descendants. The organization will give particular emphasis to fostering connectedness among members of the extended Rose family, a wondrous and constantly evolving entity now so large that, let’s face it, you could be living next door to or sharing a dorm room, chat room, or waiting room with one of your own cousins and not even know it.
