Mary Rose Young is a ceramic artist who lives and works in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, in the UK.

Working from home, she began selling pottery pieces from a barrow at the Dockside Arts Centre, in Bristol, from about 1985.

The roses began to grow in a three-dimensional form on the rims of vases and on the handles of mugs, and she called the look 'Rose Encrusted'.

In 1990 she relocated to Oak House, on the edge of Parkend, which she decorated in vivid colours to reflect her style.

In 2007 she attracted new media attention after Ozzy Osbourne's Mary Rose Young teacup and saucer fetched $1,650.00 in a charity auction of his possessions.
