Brian Charles Rose (born June 4, 1950, Dartford, Kent) is a former English cricketer who played in 9 Tests and 2 ODIs from 1977 to 1981.

He trained as a teacher before pursuing a successful county career with Somerset. A left handed opening batsman, he succeeded the iconic Brian Close as captain in 1978 and he led the county their first ever trophies, the Gillette Cup and the John Player League, in 1979. The team was a potent blend of world-class match winners in Ian Botham, Viv Richards and Joel Garner, honest country pros and keen youngsters and became very popular.

Unfortunately the same year saw Rose make the typically inventive, but entirely counter productive, decision to declare Somerset's innings closed in a Benson and Hedges Cup zonal match after one over to ensure their progress through the group. The hitherto popular Rose was vilified by the fans, press and cricket establishment alike and Somerset were dumped from the competition [ [http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/142288.html Cricinfo - I do declare ] ] .

Helped perhaps by Ian Botham's captaincy of England, Rose played nine Tests, and batted as well as anyone against the fearsome West Indies attack in 1980, making 243 runs at 48.60. Unfortunately he had a wretched tour, as did the rest of the team, to the West Indies the following winter. He developed eye problems, had to return early and batted with glasses for the rest of his career.

In 270 first class matches he scored 13,236 runs at 33.25 with a best of 205. He resumed teaching after retiring from the first class game but maintained his involvement with Somerset. A past Chairman of Cricket, he is currently the Director of Cricket at Taunton.
