Rosebery is an unincorporated community about 6 kilometres (4 mi) north of New Denver in the West Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia.

The former steamboat landing and ferry terminal is at the mouth of Wilson Creek on the eastern shore of Slocan Lake.

[7] CP, the N&S owner, built a medium sized station, section house, freight shed, sidings, and wharf at Rosebery,[8] which was the transfer terminal for travel to other points on the lake.

The ST&N, which had primarily served New Denver to Silverton and Bonanza City,[9] substituted Rosebery/Wilson Creek for the latter from the beginning of 1895.

[12] During the earlier years, ongoing improvements were made to the Rosebery wharf infrastructure,[13] ultimately allowing a seamless rolling of freight cars onto/off a rail barge.

[20] However, being a strategic rail/ferry transport link alone was insufficient to elevate Rosebery to the likes of district communities thriving during the mining boom.

[31] Rosebery was one of the smaller West Kootenay internment camps housing Japanese Canadians removed from the BC coast during World War II.
