Personalidade
Roses é o motorista e mordomo de longa data da Família Joestar. Devido ao seu tempo como mordomo, ele se aproximou da família e se sente sentimental por ela. Ele se preocupa muito quando Holy Kujo fica doente e luta para revelar a Suzi Q Joestar o quão grave é a situação de sua filha. Roses conhece os costumes do Japão e avisa a Suzi Q para não se meter em encrencas, até repreendendo-a quando ela quase é atacada por um membro da yakuza. No entanto, ele tolera sua indiferença e é capaz de protegê-la quando surge uma situação.[2]
Habilidades
Como o guarda-costas de Suzi Q, ele é um lutador habilidoso apesar de sua idade. Ele facilmente consegue derrotar um membro da yakuza com apenas um chute.[2]
História

Joseph stays in touch with Roses throughout his journey to relay his situation and ask about Holy's condition. Just before reaching Egypt, Joseph calls Roses from his submarine but Suzi Q answers the phone instead. When Suzi Q asks Joseph what dress she should wear, Roses manages to make her leave the room by telling her to consider her blue dress. After Suzi Q leaves, Roses mentions to Joseph that Holy insists that she only has a cold, but her actual condition is worsening by the day. He asks if they should tell Suzi Q the truth but Joseph denies, saying they shouldn't under any circumstances. Suzi Q then returns and offers Roses tea but he says he should be the one serving her instead.[3]
Later that night, Roses listens to Suzi Q speaking with Jotaro Kujo on the phone. As Suzi Q wonders why Jotaro is traveling with his grandpa, Roses thinks to himself and cries about how the Joestar men are fighting to save Holy.[3] The next day, Roses tells Suzi Q that it's the first time something like this has happened in his thirty years of working for their family, but Suzi Q tells him he's overreacting since it's only a business trip.[4]
While the Joestar Group is battling in DIO's mansion, Roses takes Suzi Q and a Speedwagon Foundation member to visit Holy. The Speedwagon Foundation member questions if Roses told Suzi Q about the severity of her daughter's Stand-based sickness. Roses replied that he tried, but didn't have the courage because he couldn't stand to see Suzi Q sad.
Due to the possibility of Joseph not making it in time, leaving only a few days for Suzi Q to see her daughter before her death, Roses decides to tell her the truth to prepare her. Because of Suzi's childish, carefree and curious behavior towards Japan, she disregards what Roses has to say, which eventually leads to her getting in trouble with a yakuza member. Roses saves her in time, causing Suzi to reveal that she already knows about her daughter's condition and he shouldn't have to worry because Joseph always finds a way out of dangerous situations.[2]
