The Squire Roses are a youth sorority run by individual State Councils within the Knights of Columbus, for Catholic girls between the ages of 10 and 18.
In March 1993, De Rose held a recruitment drive because of requests from young women to join the Columbian Squires.
The Knights of St. Mary of Sorrows provided the initial donations and were made aware that the Squire Roses would support their charities and functions but as a separate organization.
The members of the Squire Roses defined their vision, roles, motto, emblem, laws and bylaws, and ceremonials.
