The southern of two rocks called The Sisters (q.v.), off the N extremity of Cape Adare. The other rock pillar, Gertrude Rock (q.v.) disappeared between 2003 and 2006. The Sisters were named by the BrAE, 1898-1900. Rose Rock was named by Campbell, leader of the Northern Party of the BrAE, 1910-13, at the suggestion of Levick, after a favorite comic song which concerned two sisters named Rose and Gertrude. This description was revised 17 July 2007.
