**Arthur Rose** (also found as **Ross**; 1634–1704) was a Scottish [minister](/source/Minister_of_the_Church_of_Scotland), [Archbishop of St Andrews](/source/Archbishop_of_St_Andrews), and, informally, the first [Episcopal Primate of Scotland](/source/Episcopal_Primate_of_Scotland), after the fall of the [Restoration Episcopate](/source/Restoration_Episcopate) in 1689.

## Life

The younger son of Elizabeth Wood and her husband, John Rose, minister of [Birse](/source/Birse), he was born in 1634. Graduating from [Marischal College](/source/Marischal_College) on 9 July 1652, he chose to follow his father's church career, and on 5 April 1655, he received his licence from the [presbytery](/source/Presbytery_(church_polity)) of [Garioch](/source/Garioch), obtaining the parish of Kinearny in the following year.

Rose's position in the church improved when he was moved to the nearby parish of [Old Deer](/source/Old_Deer) in Autumn 1663. In the following year he became [rector](/source/Rector_(academia)) of Marischal College, his alma mater, and later in the same year was given control of [St Mungo's](/source/Glasgow_Cathedral), [Glasgow](/source/Glasgow), after being persuaded by [Alexander Burnet](/source/Alexander_Burnet), then [Archbishop of Glasgow](/source/Archbishop_of_Glasgow). In 1675 he became [Bishop of Argyll](/source/Bishop_of_Argyll), while retaining control of the St Mungo's [parsonage](/source/Parsonage). On 5 September 1679, he was translated to the [diocese of Galloway](/source/Diocese_of_Galloway), having been elected as [Bishop of Galloway](/source/Bishop_of_Galloway) earlier in the year.

However, Rose was not to be Bishop of Galloway for long, for in October of the same year he succeeded Burnet as Archbishop of Glasgow. Five years later he succeeded Alexander Burnet again, this time after the latter's death rather than promotion. Rose was formally installed as [Archbishop of St Andrews](/source/Archbishop_of_St_Andrews) and [Primate](/source/Primate_(bishop)) of [Scotland](/source/Scotland) on 25 December 1684. Rose was archbishop until 22 July 1689, when [parliament](/source/Parliament_of_Scotland) abolished all prelates in Scotland. He continued discreetly as an [Episcopalian](/source/Scottish_Episcopal_Church), remaining informally the primate until his death on 13 June 1704. He died at Campbell's Close in [Canongate](/source/Canongate), [Edinburgh](/source/Edinburgh), and was buried in the graveyard of the church of [Restalrig](/source/Restalrig).
