George B. Rose was a Little Rock lawyer and author.
Rose was born to Uriah M. Rose and Margaret T. (Gibbs) Rose in Batesville, Arkansas, on July 10, 1860. He moved with his family to Little Rock in 1865. He became a member of the Arkansas Bar in 1879. Rose married Marion Kimball on May 2, 1882. He became fourth president of the Arkansas State Bar Association.
As a young man Rose wrote a fictional account of the local discovery of an "elixir of life" in the story "Dr. Ellison, A True Story of Little Rock." He also wrote "William Wilson, A True Story of Little Rock," an homage to Edgar Allan Poe. He later published the work Wasted Moments in 1891, and Sebastian, A Dramatic Poem in 1894.
