Rollins, and the Danish-born artist Emil Carlsen. In 1886, he received honorable mentions in both drawing and oil painting; a year later he was given the school's coveted Avery Gold Medal in oil painting and contributed a still life with “excellent tone” to the Winter Annual of the San Francisco Art Association.Daily Alta California (San Francisco): 11 December 1886, p.1; 10 December 1887, p.8; 7 December 1888, p.1.

Career
Rose lived in New York City, New York in the 1890s and illustrated for Harper's, Scribners, and Century. Choosing to return to France in 1899, he and his wife Ethel Rose bought a cottage at Giverny. In 1900, he resided in Paris and spent the winter in Briska, Algeria where he painted three known paintings. From 1904 to 1912, husband and wife lived in Giverny and his works from this period showed the influence of "the master" Claude Monet, who became his friend and mentor.
From 1913 to 1914, the Roses summered in and held an outdoor sketching school at Narragansett, Rhode Island.
Suffering on and off again from the effects of lead poisoning, Rose and his wife moved permanently to Los Angeles, California in 1914.
Between 1918 and 1920, the Roses not only painted in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California as summer residents, they became exhibiting members of the local art colony. In 1919, they leased the Carmel cottage of artist Alice Comins.Carmel Pine Cone: 1 August 1918, p.1; 24 July 1919, p.1; 10 June 1920, p.1; 7 October 1920, p.1. Guy's oils appeared at the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Annual Exhibitions of the Carmel Arts and Crafts Club in 1919 and 1920. At the latter, he displayed The Beach and The Point.Carmel Pine Cone, 9 September 1920, p.3. In the fall of 1921, his two Carmel paintings at the Hotel Del Monte Art Gallery in Monterey were said to “possess the charm of the subject . . . rendered with much feeling.”The Oakland Tribune, 9 October 1921, p. S-8.
In Los Angeles, Guy Rose taught and served as Director of the Stickney Memorial Art School in Pasadena.{{Cite web|url=https://www.americanlegacyfinearts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/CAC-Newsletter_Mannheim1.pdf|title=Jean Mannheim (1861-1945): Cultivating Colour and Versatility in California|last=Reitzell|first=Richard W.|date=Fall 2011|website=California Art Club Newsletter|publisher=California Art Club|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-04-01}}
