Poor Rose! It definitely sounds like something isn't right. Unfortunately, these are very vague symptoms that could be caused by almost any kind of illness, so it's hard to say what might be wrong without being able to examine her and run some tests. It does sound like she's ill, so I would recommend taking her to the vet for an exam. He/she can do some diagnostic testing if needed to help determine what's wrong and see what kind of treatment is needed.
