In January 2021, Rose was selected 10th overall in the 2021 NWSL Draft by the North Carolina Courage but did not join the team.[11] In December 2021, North Carolina traded Rose's NWSL playing rights to the Orlando Pride during the 2022 NWSL Draft in exchange for a third-round pick.[12]

On July 28, 2021, Rose signed a two-year contract with Reading of the English FA Women's Super League.[13] In her first game of the 2022-23 season, she would rupture her Achilles tendon, forcing her to miss significant playing time.[14]

In August 2016, she helped Canada win their second Olympic bronze medal after scoring the game-opening goal during the third-place match against Brazil, in which Canada won 2–1.[4] Moreover, she became the youngest female Olympic goalscorer, aged 17 years and 169 days.[20] On May 25, 2019, she was named to the roster for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.[21]

In August 2021, during the finals of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, Rose scored the tying penalty during the shootout. The Canadians went on to win the gold medal, becoming the first Canadian soccer team to do so in 117 years.
