Rose was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He attended Davidson College, earning his LL.B., and he received his Juris Doctor from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. For several years, Rose practiced as a lawyer, and in 1970, he became a prosecutor for Fayetteville district courts. In 1972, in his first bid for elected office, Rose was elected to Congress from a district stretching from Fayetteville to the coast.

Rose was known as a liberal, populist Democrat. Although his views were not in line with many of the constituents of his conservative coastal district, he remained popular because he was viewed as a champion of farmers. He was a member of the Intelligence and Agricultural Committees. He also served as Chairman of the House Administration Committee from 1991 - 1994.

In 1991, Rose chaired the House Committee investigation of the George H. W. Bush administration's role in selling military supplies to Iraq.

After Democrats lost control of Congress in the 1994 Republican Revolution, Rose challenged incumbent House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt for the post of Minority Leader, but lost 150-50. He retired from the House the next year.
