Rose (23 March 1892 – 21 June 1971) was a World War I flying ace credited with 16 aerial victories.

He tallied 14 enemy airplanes destroyed, including one shared with James Victor Gascoyne, and two "driven down out of control".

During World War II, Rose joined the U.S. Army Air Corps as an operations and training officer in Kentucky.

By the time he was discharged in 1946, Rose had become commander of the Aircraft Assignment Base at Wright Field.

His personal example of skill and determination in aerial combats and in attacking troops and transport on the ground is of the greatest value in maintaining the high standard of efficiency in his squadron.
