George Rose III (born 13 March 1983) is a retired Australian professional rugby league footballer. He last played for the St George Illawarra Dragons of the National Rugby League.

Rose was born in Bathurst, New South Wales and played his junior rugby league for the Bathurst Penguins. An indigenous representative prop forward, he previously played for Sydney NRL clubs the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles (with whom he won the 2011 NRL Premiership) Melbourne Storm and Sydney Roosters.

During the round 11, 2007, match against the Melbourne Storm, Rose badly broke his leg in a tackle midway through the second half. He missed the rest of the 2007 season, including Manly's grand final appearance, and returned to play for Manly at New South Wales Cup level in 2008.

In 2008, he featured for the Indigenous Dreamtime team against the New Zealand Māori in a curtain-raiser to the opening game of the World Cup. He also featured for the Indigenous All Stars in their match against the NRL All Stars to kick off the 2010 NRL season.

Rose broke back into Manly's top side in 2009, after playing off the bench in Manly's win over Leeds in the 2009 World Club Challenge. Following a breakout year, Rose was named as the Sea Eagles Player Of The Year for the 2009 season.
