George Rose (born March 13, 1983 in Bathurst, New South Wales) is an Australian professional rugby league player who currently plays for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in the National Rugby League competition. He primarily plays at prop. Rose previously played for the Sydney Roosters.

During the round 11, 2007, match against the Melbourne Storm, Rose badly broke his leg in a tackle midway through the second half.[1] He missed the rest of the 2007 season, including Manly's grand final appearance, and returned to play for Manly at New South Wales Cup level in 2008.[2]

In 2008, he featured for the Indigenous Dreamtime team against the New Zealand Māori in a curtain-raiser to the opening game of the World Cup.[3] He also featured for the Indigenous All Stars in their match against the NRL All Stars to kick off the 2010 NRL season.[4]

Rose broke back into Manly's top side in 2009, after playing off the bench in Manly's win over Leeds in the 2009 World Club Challenge. Following a breakout year, Rose was named as the Sea Eagles Player Of The Year for the 2009 season.

On 2 October 2011 Rose played from the bench in Manly's 2011 NRL Grand Final win over the New Zealand Warriors 24-10 in front of 81,988 fans at the ANZ Stadium in Sydney. Rose was placed on report for an elbow to Warriors Hooker Aaron Heremaia in the 29th minute of the game and is facing a two match ban as a result.
