Sir John Rose, 1st Baronet GCMG PC QC (2 August 1820 – 24 August 1888) was a Scots-Quebecer politician. In Canada, he was a member of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada and the Executive Council of the Province of Canada. He held the offices of Solicitor General of Canada; Minister of Public Works and Minister of Finance. In the United Kingdom, he held the offices of Receiver General of the Duchy of Cornwall and Privy Counsellor. In 1872, he was created 1st Baronet Rose, of Montreal. His eldest son inherited the title and in 1909 his second son, Sir Charles Day Rose was created 1st Baronet Rose of Hardwick House in his own right. His home from 1848, Rosemount, was in Montreal's Golden Square Mile. From 1872, he lived in England at Loseley Park.
John Rose was born 2 August 1820, at Gask, near Turriff, Aberdeenshire. He was the son of William Rose (b.1792), of Gask, and Elizabeth (d.1822), daughter of Capt. James Fyfe. John's father, William, was a great-grandson of Hugh Rose (d.1755), 16th Laird of Kilravock Castle and Chief of Clan Rose. The estate of Gask had passed to John's father through his ancestor, Lt.-General Alexander Forbes (d.1672), 10th Lord Forbes. John Rose was educated at Udny Academy and King's College, Aberdeen.
