Rose's (originally known as P.H. Rose) is a regional discount store centered out of Henderson, North Carolina. Once dominant in the mountainous regions and rural areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, the chain began to dwindle due to the expansion of Wal-Mart in the region.

The Rose's chain not only anchored strip centers, but also once anchored many enclosed shopping malls. Unable to adequately compete and falling under poor management, many stores closed, including those mall locations, and the stores never were updated to compete with Wal-Mart. Several stores are still operational. For the traditional meaning of the word mall, see pedestrian street or promenade. ...


Rose's made several unsuccessful attempts to be acquired in the mid-1990s. At the retailer's peak, it operated approximately 278 stores mainly in North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia.


Rose's was purchased by Variety Wholesalers Inc. in the late 1990s. Today, the company has approximately 103 stores. It has scaled back its desire to operate as a discount store, focusing more on a high-end dollar concept.

Rose Nadler - Lostpedia (1307 words)
Rose is a well-meaning, caring woman who was supposedly healed from her fatal illness after arriving on the island, similar to Locke.
However, Rose told him to keep it, revealing that she was going to lie and say she had been healed in order for Bernard to enjoy the little time he had left with her, without constantly trying to save her.
Rose along with Bernard and Desmond (Season 2) are the only recurring characters that have received flashback episodes, with her and Bernard being the first.
Rose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2775 words)
The roses have significant value and interest for those growing roses in tropical and semi-tropical regions, since they are highly resistant to both nematode damage and the fungal diseases that plague rose culture in hot, humid areas, and capable of blooming in hot and humid weather.
Roses are ocassionally the basis of design for rose windows, such windows comprising five or ten segments (the five petals and five sepals of a rose) or multiples thereof; however most Gothic rose windows are much more elaborate and were probably based originally on the wheel and other symbolism.
Rose perfumes are made from attar of roses or rose oil, which is a mixture of volatile essential oils obtained by steam-distilling the crushed petals of roses.
