In order of preference:
Rosalie - has a happy sound and nice flow.
Rosalind - I want to like this more but ‘lind’ is such a flat sound.
Rose - dull and twee.
I absolutely adore Rosamund though. I would seriously consider this if I was to have another daughter. It’s a perfect blend of feminine and strong.

Rose - a sweet classic. I love this name (:
Rosalind - it sounds like the heroine from a romantic novel. I think the name sounds sweet and spunky at the same time.
Rosalie - reminds me too much of the Twilight character

They’re all nice, but I would rank them in terms of “useability” as:
Rosalie
Rosalind
Rose
I actually think I prefer Rosalind to Rosalie, but Rosalie might be easier to pull of in actual use. It’d be nice to see a young Rosalind, though.
Rose is pretty, but unexciting. Of course, you could say the same about the other two, but they’re more interesting at least by a little bit, imo.

Rosalie comes across as froufrou or try-hard. It's like a pretty dress with a garish bow.
Rose could be okay, but to me, it sounds more like a shade of blush or a pony than it does a person. It actually doesn't remind me of the flower that much...I guess because I hear that as plural most often.
I'd prefer Rosa to either of those, if I wanted that 'rows' sound.
But I prefer Rosalind, ultimately. I think it's well-balanced enough to be wearable, plus Roz is buzzy. It's dark red, while the other two are pink (seems more robust).

I'd choose Rose, because I have always liked it, and the other two are a bit prissy to me. I'd actually pick Rosa over Rose for a first name.

Rose
It's beautiful, elegant, girly without being frilly or over the top. Long overused in the MN spot, I think it's refreshing to be heard as a first name. For me, it ticks a lot of boxes.

Rosalie without a doubt.
It's the best one to use internationally (in Dutch Rose would actually be Roos, and people might expect Rosalind to be Rosalinde, while Rosalie is Rosalie). I also like the sound best. Rosalind looks a bit unfinished to me, maybe bc I'd expect Rosalinde, and I wouldn't use it IRL bc my niece is already Linde, so too close to Rosalind in my opinion. Rose is a bit boring and dated, while Rosalie is more interesting.
All three are pretty sweet names.

Hi !!!
I choose Rose.
I love this name since I was a child because it works both in English and French with lovely pronounciations.
I remember that Titanic was one of the first films I saw in my life and was and still is my favourite movie. Rose De Witt Bukater is a wonderful character and I always think of her when I hear Rose. She is a beautiful even tragic example of strength and courage.
Rosalie has a lovely French or vintage vibe.
Currently Rosalind is actually in my mind. I met this name in the novel 'Chesapeake' where Rosalind Janney-Stead was a 1700s American 'mistress' (wife of a wealthy owner of plantation).
All your names are in my PNL but my favourite is Rose.

Not Rose, except as a possible nn. Too floral by far, tending towards the sentimental. Flowers-wise, I'd consider using Daisy and Iris, probably not together though, and that's about it.
Rosalie is also out. Limp and languid, but the only Rosalie I've known well is brash and bright and energetic, so go figure.
That would appear to leave me with Rosalind! It is a good name, less sugary than Rosalie and Rose, probably because of the Shakespeare connection, though IRL I'd be more likely to use Celia. But by far the nicest of your three.
If I wanted a rose name, then I'd probably have to spin a coin between Rosamond and Rosemary. I think family pressure would swing it towards Rosemary - Rosamond seems to be too out there for them, though I love it. What about Eleanor and Rosamond for regal, naughty medieval twins?
