Rose worked at Wits in the Genetics Department for two years and then moved to London where she made high performance kites for a while. She then worked as a clinical chemist and bacteriologist in hospital laboratories when she finally decided there was more to life than looking at bacteria on an agar plate, so she retrained as a teacher.

On returning to South Africa, Rose taught at Westerford High School and at Rondebosch Boys High. She joined the PSP after starting a family and has been part of the PSP since 1988 – seeing it grow from strength to strength.
