The Rose was an Elizabethan theatre. It was the fourth of the public theatres to be built, after The Theatre, the Curtain, and the theatre at Newington Butts – and the first of several playhouses to be situated in Bankside, Southwark, in a liberty outside the jurisdiction of the City of London's civic authorities. Its remains were excavated by archaeologists in 1989 and are listed by Historic England as a Scheduled Monument. ()
