"If you're not in Gryffindor, we'll disinherit you. But no pressure."

- Ron Weasley jokingly warning Rose about house choices

Rose W. "Rosie" Weasley (born c. 2006) was a half-blood witch and the daughter of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. She has a brother, Hugo, who is about two years younger than her.

just so you know, the first picture is Rose's double and the one of a red haired girl with Albus is the real rose

Biography
As Rose prepared to go off to her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with her cousin Albus Potter in 2017, her father encouraged her to be sorted into the same house as himself and her mother, Gryffindor. He also jokingly told her to beat Draco Malfoy's son, Scorpius, in every test, though Hermione expressed a more tolerant attitude. Ron also warned Rose not to get too friendly with Scorpius, quipping that her grandfather, Arthur Weasley, would never forgive her for marrying a pure-blood.

Family
Rose seems to have a strong relationship with her father, Ron Weasley, as they were joking about the Hogwarts sorting. Rose also was close to her mother, Hermione Granger, as they have many of the same qualities. She was also close to her cousin Albus as she beamed at him. Rose is assumed to have a good relationship with her brother and cousins.

Personality and traits
Rose is said to have inherited her mother's intelligence. It is also noted that she put on her robes before needed, like her mother did at her age. If her father's encouragement to best Scorpius Malfoy academically has any effect, she may also turn out to be rather competitive and academically brilliant like her mother.

She seems to be quite close to her cousin Albus, Harry and Ginny's son, who is about the same age and who shared her anxiety about where he would be sorted at school. When she arrived at King's Cross Station to head off for their first year, Albus was "immensely relieved" to see her, and Rose beamed at him.

Etymology
Rose is probably named for the flower, which is widely prized for its beauty and fragrance. Roses are often considered symbols of love and have historically been associated with goddesses, such as Isis and Aphrodite, perhaps symbolising her parents' relationship with each other. The rose is also the national flower of England. Red roses are particularly associated with romance, and could allude to the trademark Weasley red hair.

It is also possible that Ron and Hermione wanted their children to have the same initials as their parents, R and H. Her name also continues J.K Rowling's tradition of naming characters after flowers. This could also be a way that Ron and Hermione were trying to honour Harry's parents without taking the actual name. Harry's mother was named after a flower.
