Rose was born on the family farm near Waubun, MN, on March 27, 1931, the daughter of John and Martha (Winter) Stalboerger. She graduated from Waubun High School in 1950. She worked as a dental assistant for Dr. Norbert Diekman Dentistry in Mahnomen. Rose was united in marriage to Delmar Benesh on November 21, 1957, and made their home on a farm north of Ada.

Rose was stay-at-home mom until all her children started school. Over the years, she waitressed at Yost Café and Faye's Café of Ada and also worked as a store clerk at Engelhardt Drug in Ada. For over 20 years, she worked for REM Group Home in Ada until she retired. This was her favorite career, as she loved taking care of the residents of the group homes.
