He was educated at Marlborough, and Worcester College, Oxford.
Rose began his presbyterate with a curacy at St Mary, Somers Town, in London; after which he served as a Naval Chaplain during World War I.
When peace returned, he became Warden of the Bishop's Hostel, Lincoln; and after this was successively Vicar of Haigh, Greater Manchester, Rural Dean of Brighton and a Chaplain to The King before his ordination to the episcopate.[6]
