conservatory. Rose win his first prize in the Klosé’s class in 1847.
From 1855 to 1891 he was principal clarinet at the PARIS OPERA ORCHESTRA. Gounod, Massenet and some others consulted him on clarinet technic.The famous aria “Ah! Pleurez mes yeux” from the Massenet opéra « Le Cid » was thought for the Rose alto clarinet.
