Rose moved to Los Angeles in 2002 after declining a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music in Boston. She went between acting, singing, songwriting, auditions, and two jobs.
Rose started performing and singing professionally when she was eight years old and appeared in a variety of regional musicals, including "Into the Woods" starring as Little Red Riding Hood at the Denver Civic Theater / Feast of Fools Theatre. She was nominated for best supporting actress by the Denver Drama Critics Circle for her role as Mary Tilford in "The Children's Hour". In this time period she also appeared in a number of national commercials.
Rose started to land parts in such series as Gilmore Girls, Ugly Betty and Commander in Chief. Her musical showcases and songwriting also began attracting more interest. On July 4, 2006 Rose joined the cast of Days of Our Lives in a contract role of Stephanie Johnson, daughter of super-couple Steve Johnson and Kayla Brady. In late November 2006, Rose was let go from Days after five months. Her last episode aired on January 18.
