Early life
Born in New Tecumseth, Ontario to Jamaican parents, Rose began playing soccer at the age of four.[2] Raised in Alliston, Rose attended Ernest Cumberland Elementary School in Alliston, Ontario,[5] and later Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School in Tottenham, Ontario. She played club soccer for Scarborough GS United. In 2015, she was one of six players to be nominated for the BMO Canadian Player of the Year (Canada Soccer Women's U-17 Program).[6]

In January 2021, Rose was selected 10th overall in the 2021 NWSL Draft by the North Carolina Courage but did not join the team.[11] In December 2021, North Carolina traded Rose's NWSL playing rights to the Orlando Pride during the 2022 NWSL Draft in exchange for a third-round pick.[12]
On July 28, 2021, Rose signed a two-year contract with Reading of the English FA Women's Super League.[13] In her first game of the 2022-23 season, she would rupture her Achilles tendon, forcing her to miss significant playing time.[14]

Rose earned her first cap for Canada's senior national team in December 2015 at the age of 16.[16] In February 2016, she scored her first two goals for the team against Guyana helping Canada win 5–0 during the group stage of the 2016 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Championship.[17] She scored her third tournament goal during the semifinal against Costa Rica helping Canada win 3–1 and qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics.[18] Canada advanced to the final where they were defeated by the United States 2–0.[19]
In August 2016, she helped Canada win their second Olympic bronze medal after scoring the game-opening goal during the third-place match against Brazil, in which Canada won 2–1.[4] Moreover, she became the youngest female Olympic goalscorer, aged 17 years and 169 days.[20] On May 25, 2019, she was named to the roster for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.[21]
In August 2021, during the finals of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, Rose scored the tying penalty during the shootout. The Canadians went on to win the gold medal, becoming the first Canadian soccer team to do so in 117 years.
