Rose Lane is a short road at the south end of (North) Hawkins lane.

Some suggest that the lane may have been named after Julien and Viola Rose; however, they never lived on Rose lane, living instead on Wallace lane, the next little lane off Hawkins lane to the north. Rose lane for many years was unnamed, being regarded as be part of Hawkins lane even though it veers off the main Hawkins lane—people mearly "lived at the end of Hawkins lane." (this statement itself is ambiguous, as Hawkins lane itself is not continuous, being broken mid-way by a large field into two noncontiguous segments.

Meg Koch, Email, 1 Aug 2011: "…. Folks around here played musical houses in the summers. My grandparents leased this house [on Old Stump Road] and moved all the way to Hawkins Lane for summers. My grandfather [Thomas Alexander Poole], who was a bayman, had a shack for his nets, etc, which is what they moved to - that shack eventually became the home of Julien and Viola Rose and then Charles and Toni Koop. All the land down Hawkins Lane was at one time owned by Wallace Swezey. Wallace was fond of selling land; Addie [Wallace's wife] made him deed lots down Hawkins Lane to each of the children. As the children became adults they sold, swapped, combined, whatever the lots. That is why when I was growing up three of Addie's children - Viola, Beatrice, Emma - lived down there." … [Ellen Learned, who lived on Rose lane] was close with her neighbors the Julien Rose family."
