Rose Mundy

Rose, 32, is the second youngest of the sisters, and like Agnes, works knitting mittens to support the family. She has a learning disability and is gulliable and rather slow. She is in love with Danny Bradley, a married man with three children, with whom she sneaks off for a boat ride one afternoon. Her close bond with Agnes is evident throughout the play and it is with Agnes that she leaves the family home for England.
