Rose Quartz is a quartz-type Gem created on the Gem Homeworld thousands of years ago with the natural abilities to be a soldier. Her origins are largely unknown. She was brought to Earth as part of Homeworld's plan to colonize the planet, however, she disagreed with colonizing a planet with life already inhabiting it. As Homeworld would not change its mind, she and Pearl defected and started the Crystal Gem Rebellion. While her group of rebels started small, it eventually amassed into a large army and freed the planet from Gem-rule. Thousands of years later, she developed romantic relationship with Greg Universe and gave up her physical form to give birth to their son, Steven Quartz Universe, the first and only half-human, half-Gem being.

Season 1
In "Laser Light Cannon", a Homeworld tracking vessel is approaching Earth and the Crystal Gems determine the only way to stop it is to use Rose's light cannon. Steven locates the cannon in Greg's U-Stor and gives it to the Gems. As the Red Eye approaches, the gems struggle to activate the cannon before Steven activates it using his dad's mantra "If every pork chop were perfect we wouldn't have hot dogs." The light cannon shoots a beam that resembles Rose Quartz herself destroying the Red Eye.

In "Rose's Room", Steven wanted a place to himself and his gem activated the door to her room.

In "Monster Buddies", Steven accidentally releases a gem creature from it's bubble and attempts to tame its wild, violent instincts, after failing to do so, Garnet explained that Rose once used her powers to try to heal the monsters, but was unable to do so.

In "An Indirect Kiss", Amethyst cracks her gemstone and it is revealed by Garnet that Rose had healing tears, and so the gems ventured to Rose's healing spring. It was then found to be clogged up and Pearl alongside Garnet went to find the cause of it, while they were gone, Steven and Amethyst were attacked by overgrown brambles and thorns, which caused them to hide inside the empty spring. A matter of moments later, the spring began to work, and Steven underwater looked up to see a figure resembling Rose lending a hand to him.
