Founding Father of Macon, Namesake of Rose Hill Cemetery.
Rose served as an apprentice while living in Connecticut. Harper's Publishing Company was one of his employers.
After he moved to the area around Fort Hawkins in middle Georgia, he began publishing newspapers. His first was called "The Bulldog." After changing the name of the paper to the "Georgia Messenger," he moved to Macon, Georgia. (The paper eventually became known by its present day name of The Macon Telegraph.)
Known as one of the founding fathers of Macon, Georgia, he helped plan the layout of the city, including a large, landscaped cemetery.
Rose was also a skilled horticulturist, florist, and botanist. He collected various types of plants from many people around the state of Georgia. He spent much of his free time working and planting trees, flowers, and shrubs around the city's cemetery.
The cemetery was named Rose Hill in honor of Simri Rose.
