Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic Football Club are a Scottish junior football club from the town of Bonnyrigg, Midlothian. Formed in 1890 and nicknamed the Rose, they play in the Scottish Junior Football Association's East Region Super League, of which they are the current champions.
Their home ground is New Dundas Park, and they have traditionally played in red and white hoops. They have won the Scottish Junior Cup twice, in 1966 and in 1978, as well as finishing runners-up in 1972. Their 6–1 defeat of Whitburn in 1966 is a joint record margin of victory in a Scottish Junior Cup final.
The team are managed since June 2015 by former Berwick Rangers player and assistant manager, Robbie Horn.
Bonnyrigg and other Junior clubs can now enter the senior Scottish Cup by winning their regional league - i.e the East Superleague - or the Junior Cup (or by upgrading their facilities to become full SFA members, as rivals Linlithgow Rose have done).
In their first campaign in 2009-10, Bonnyrigg lost in their opening tie to Highland League club Fraserburgh. Better results were achieved in 2012-13, losing to SFL Second Division side Brechin City in a replay after wins over Girvan and Stirling University.
