He also worked on breeding roses in different colors and fragrance profiles. His work was highly influential in the rose breeding community, and he became recognized as one of the leading experts in the field.

Rose later served as the director of the Plant Department at Carnegie Institution of Washington's Desert Laboratory in Tucson, Arizona, where he continued his work on developing new plant varieties and studying plant physiology. He also authored several books and articles on the subject of plant breeding and horticulture.
