"Birthday weekend was certainly eventful and I can’t thank these people enough for making it so so so so special when I wasn’t sure if I wanted to celebrate and it was last minute (sorry) and special s/o to my big sister for a weekend I’ll never forget, love you all. ty for helping me celebrate me (I never do) xo"

Rose Sombke’s Job

Rose Is A Registered Nurse

Born and raised in Rockford, Illinois—a city in the suburbs of Chicago—Rose has stayed local, working as a registered nurse at OSF Saint Anthony’s Medical Center as of 2021. Seemingly without a LinkedIn profile, it is unclear where she works now, as well as where she worked prior.

While things seem to be smooth sailing nevertheless, a few years ago, she took part in an interview that discussed how the COVID-19 pandemic was impacting registered nurses and other healthcare workers. “It was a rapid shift. It was so hard for the teachers and the students because everyone was learning how to use these new programs at the same time,” she gushed, prior to delving into the details:

“We know we try and just make-up for shortages and we work hard and we do overtime; just to make up for those hours that we’re losing because we’re short nurses and we’re up on our patient loads and everyone is just working harder."

When she isn't working, Rose certainly knows how to have a good time, sharing loads of fun-loving photos via her Instagram profile (@rosesombke).

From the looks of things, the Illinois native loves to travel all around the United States and beyond, as well as attend Chicago Cubs baseball games, soak up the sunshine at the pool, lake or beach and more.

Also through our social media stalking, we found that Rose follows dozens of Formula 1 drivers—as well as their girlfriends—which brings us to the fun facts that she shared with ABC ahead of her Bachelor debut.

More On Rose Sombke

Before embarking on her Bachelor journey, Rose shared three incredibly intriguing fun facts with fans of the reality television series, beginning with the fact that she "would love to attend a Formula 1 race" someday soon.

For Grant's sake, hopefully she loves (former) professional basketball players almost as much as she loves Formula 1 drivers!

Nevertheless, her other two fun facts are as follows:

• "Rose admits she is a terrible dancer"
• "Rose thinks Julie Andrews is the GOAT"

Additionally, ABC created an official Bachelor biography that describes Rose as someone with "a big heart and an even bigger personality." Said biography continues:

"She describes herself as romantic, optimistic and goofy, and says she has always been the caregiver in relationships... In her free time, Rose likes to spend time at the beach, explore new places, and hit the town for a fun night out."

The 27-year-old also detailed what she is looking for in her future husband:

"When it comes to finding a partner, Rose has high standards and isn’t planning on lowering them (as she shouldn’t). She is hoping to meet a man who is confident, loving, fun, and will earn the approval of her friends."

Her official Bachelor biography concludes with a pun that reads "She hopes that she’ll be the only ROSE Grant needs," but will she?

With 24 other gorgeous gals to choose from, as amazing as Rose sounds, the following women are sure to give her a run for her money...

Regardless of whether or not she emerges victorious by the end of the reality televison series, it is safe to say that Rose will have quite the run on The Bachelor Season 29, hopefully ending her Bachelor journey with a Neil Lane engagement ring.

To see who ends up with Grant's final rose, though, tune into The Bachelor Season 29 each and every Monday via ABC, with next-day streaming available via Hulu and Disney Plus.

If the rest of the season is as incredible as the premiere, we are certainly in for a treat!
