Commander William Benjamin Suckling was in Rose for just a month (starting 16 February 1828, according to ADM/196/6/317.

I believe this ship took the 26th Regiment (Camaronians) to India from Chatham sailing 9/5/1828.

I have a note (taken from one or other collection of naval biographies) to the effect that Commander Eaton Stannard Travers was transferred to the Rose from the Scylla on 23 July 1828. Apparently the Rose was then being fitted out for the Halifax station.
