Born in South America, Rose was dedicated to her religion. Choosing not to use her beauty to her advantage, she worked in embroidery and gardening to help support her family and other poor people around them. She rejected her parents' attempts to force her to marry, and instead Rose spent the rest of her life living as a recluse before joining the Third Order of St. Dominic. She was the first person to born in the Americas to be canonized.
