  • Arthur Rose (also found as Ross) was a seventeenth century Scottish prelate. The younger son of Ellizabeth Wood and her husband, John Rose, minister of Birse, he was born in 1634. Graduating from Marischal College on July 9, 1652, he chose to follow his father's church career, and on April 5, 1655, he received his license from the presbytery of Garioch, obtaining the parish of Kinearny in the following year. Rose's position in the church improved when he was moved to the nearby parish of Old Deer in Autumn 1663. In the following year he became rector of Marischal College, his alma mater, and later in the same year was given control of St Mungo's, Glasgow, after being persuaded by Alexander Burnet, then Archbishop of Glasgow. In 1675 he became Bishop of Argyll, while retaining control of the St Mungo's parsonage. On September 5, 1679, he was translated to the diocese of Galloway, having been elected as Bishop of Galloway earlier in the year. However, Rose was not to be Bishop of Galloway for long, for in October of the same year he succeeded Burnet as Archbishop of Glasgow. Five years later he succeeded Alexander Burnet again, this time after the latter's death rather than promotion. Rose was formally installed as Archbishop of St Andrews and Primate of Scotland on December 25, 1684. Rose was Archbishop until on July 22, 1689, when parliament abolished all prelates in Scotland. He continued discretely as an Episcopalian, remaining informally the primate until his death on June 13, 1704. He died at Campbell's Close in Canongate, Edinburgh, and was buried in the graveyard of the church of Restalrig. (en)
