Rose holds a PhD from Bangor University in marine ecophysiology. She has extensive experience in aquaculture of algae, shellfish and fish gained through her postgraduate degrees and her employment at three universities and an aquarium. In 2009 Rose became interested in the unique challenges of aquaculture in an aquaponics system and designed and constructed a system primarily focused on tilapia and watercress production which she ran for a year. 

Rose has published on aquaponics policy and the application of soil health measures to the hydroponic component of aquaponics systems. Her current research concerns consumer perceptions and willingness to pay for aquaponics products and continues the investigation of the impact of waste from aquaculture on soil and plant health.
