I think having something to fall back on as a women's footballer is important and because it's something I value."[6] She scored her first collegiate goal on September 2, 2021 against theBoston University Terriers.[7] She scored her first game-winning goal, in double overtime, on September 15, 2021 against theNortheastern Huskies.[8] After a strong first year with the Crimson, she was named to the All-Ivy First Team and All-East Region First Team,[9] the Top Drawer Soccer First-year Best XI,[10] and was one of only three Ivy Leaguers named to theUnited Soccer Coaches' 2022 Women's Players to Watch list, as well as the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List.[11][12]

On June 18, 2025, it was announced that Rose had signed her first professional contract, joiningWomen's Super League clubManchester City on a contract through to the summer of 2029 and becoming City's first signing of the 2025 summer.[21][22]
Early in her junior career, Rose represented Canada at the 2018CONCACAF Girls' Under-15 Championship,2018 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship,2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, and2020 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship.[23] In 2019, she was invited to a camp for thesenior team for the first time.[24] She was named theCanadian Youth International Female Player of the Year in 2020, after finishing as runner-up in 2019.[25] In December 2021, she won the distinction for the second time.[26][27]
Rose was named to theCanadian senior squad for the2021 SheBelieves Cup,[28] where she made her debut on February 21 againstArgentina.[29]
Joining Canada'sU20 team again for 2022, Rose was named its captain in advance of the2022 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship.[30] The team finished in third place, in the process qualifying for the2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, where Rose also competed.[31] Following the U20 World Cup, Rose was called up to join Canada's senior team for two friendly matches played overseas againstAustralia.[32] She took the field in the second match on September 6, and earned wide praise for her performance, both for success at frustrating Australian star forwardSam Kerr and for setting up the game-winning goal byAdriana Leon.[33]The Guardian dubbed her "the star of the show."[34]
Rose was named to Canada's squad for the2023 FIFA Women's World Cup but was forced to withdraw due to injury.[35] In September, she was called up again for theCONCACAF Olympic qualification playoff againstJamaica.[36] With the World Cup having been a disappointment for the Canadian team, coachBev Priestman opted to reorganize, which included starting Rose in both matches as part of a new defensive configuration. Canada defeated Jamaica to qualify for the2024 Summer Olympics.[37][38][39] In 2023, she was named Canada's Young Player of the Year for the third time in four years.[40]
Joining the squad for theinaugural edition of theCONCACAF W Gold Cup, Rose played the full 90 minutes in two of Canada's three group stage games, and the full 120 minutes in both the quarter- and semi-finals, which ultimately saw Canada lose to theUnited States on penalties.
