He then leased farmland for eight years and saved enough money to be able to purchase his own farm. He married Harriet Irvine.[1] Rose was reeve for Sidney Township and also served as warden for Hastings County. He was elected to the assembly in an 1882 by-election held after Alexander Robertson resigned his seat to run for a seat in the House of Commons.[2] He died in Sidney Township in 1897.[3]
