It sounds like Rose is uncomfortable. It's possible she has an ear infection and this could be hurting her. I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian within the next 24 hours. Since Rose can't talk and tell you whats wrong, only a physical exam will begin to shed some light on the problem. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
