The son of
consecrated at Forfar on 24 August 1774 by bishops Falconer, Rait and Forbes.[1][2] Four years later, he also became the Bishop of Dunkeld from 11 June 1776 until autumn 1786.[1][2]
He successfully blocked the consecration of
Samuel Seabury in 1784, due to Seabury's ordination in the juring Church of England.[1] After the other bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church abandoned their allegiance to the House of Stuart and recognised the House of Hanover in 1788, he irregularly consecrated James Brown to continue the non-juring succession.[1] He was known as 'the most Jacobite of all Jacobites'.[3]
Bishop Rose died in office in April 1791.[1][2]
