is a
Fictional Character on the
ABC television series ''
Lost '' played by
L. Scott Caldwell , where she has a recurring role.
Rose is a woman from the
Bronx , one of the five boroughs of New York City. She met her husband
Bernard when her car became stuck in a snowbank one night. After dating for five months, Bernard proposed to her at
Niagara Falls at which time Rose revealed that she was sick with an illness (presumed to be
Cancer ) that went into
Remission but which has now recurred; she only has a year left to live. The two marry regardless, and on their honeymoon, Bernard takes Rose to a faith healer named Isaac in Australia. Despite her protests, she agrees to see him.
Isaac claimed the spot his house is built upon was a point of strong magnetic force, and he channels the force into sick people to cure them. He tells Rose that he actually cannot help her, because the force was not reacting to her, but the place where she can be healed may be found somewhere else. Rose told Bernard that she had been cured, in order to stop him from wasting any more of the time that they had left together. Just before boarding the plane, she had a brief encounter with a wheelchair-bound
Locke . Rose is the only known survivor who knows that Locke was once paralyzed from the waist down, although Boone found out just before he died.
A level-headed and compassionate woman, Rose is dealing with life on the island fairly well, despite being separated from her husband during the first month and half. She was in a state of shock during the first few days on the island, which Jack believed was caused by the sudden death of Bernard. Rose, however, believed without a doubt that Bernard was alive and well. She was actually in shock because her illness was suddenly gone. Rose kept her illness and her miracle recovery a secret, as well as Locke's recovery.
Rose is trusted and liked by all of the other survivors.
Hurley chose to take her to the Swan bunker because she was the only person who was not curious about what was inside. Rose helped Hurley do the food inventory and talked him out of blowing up the food. She does not like the bunker and is not using it to do her laundry.
Bernard eventually returns with the other survivors from the tail section, who ran into
Michael ,
Jin , and
Sawyer on the other side of the island.
Rose and Bernard's relationship became strained when she refused to support his efforts to build a giant
SOS sign on the beach. After Bernard antagonized everyone who was willing to help and was reduced to constructing the sign by himself, Rose apologized to him, confessing that Isaac never cured her, but that her illness had vanished while on the island, much like Locke's paralysis. Bernard understood that she was afraid the illness would return if they ever left the island, and abandoned his attempts to escape.
