Rose (Cornish: Ros)^[1] is a hamlet in mid-Cornwall, UK. Rose is to the north-west of Goonhavern and east of Perranporth.^[2]

Between Rose and Lower Rose is St Piran's Round (also known as Perran Round) (grid reference SW778545), a circular earthwork which could have originally been an Iron Age circular enclosure. It is considered to be the finest remaining example of a playing place or Plen-an-gwary – a medieval amphitheatre used for performing the Ordinalia, or Cornish miracle plays and hosting Cornish wrestling tournaments.^[3]

An article in an 1880 edition of The Cornishman newspaper reports that the present use of the Newlyn Amphitheatre (or pit) dates from 1852. Before this it was, said to be a quarry^{[n 1]} and it now has a small house inside the boundary, for use by the Methodists for tea-meetings.^[4]
