Discussion
Her first book, For All the Tea in China, was published in 2009 in England.[4] and in 2010 in the United States.[6] In England her book was published by Hutchison. In the United States, her book was published by Viking. It tells the story of Robert Fortune, the nineteenth-century Scottish botanist[7] who, in stealing tea plants and seeds from Qing China,[8] committed "the greatest act of industrial espionage in history."[9] Guy Raz, of National Public Radio's All Things Considered, called it "a wonderful combination of scholarship and storytelling",[10] and the Associated Press said it was "a story that should appeal to readers who want to be transported on a historic journey laced with suspense, science, and adventure".[11] Her book received press coverage on BBC Radio (as "Book of the Week"), AudioFile Magazine, and elsewhere.[2]
In 2010–2011 Rose co-starred, along with her close friend Joel Derfner, on the reality television series Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys, which follows the lives of four women in New York City and their gay male best friends. The show debuted on the Sundance Channel in December 2010.
