FAQ
Why?
Telegram is known to have a large amount of spam, which large groups often struggle to deal with.
Rose was built to help these online communities fight against spammers. To make sure she integrates with Telegram as tightly as possible, without needing any fancy new Telegram apps, Rose hooks straight into Telegram's Bot API. This means that all you need to do to use Rose, is to add her to your group.
Who runs Rose?
Check out our about us page!
How old is Rose?
Rose was first released in August 2018, as the improved version of Marie, which was our first attempt at building a group management bot.
How many people use Rose?
At time of writing (May 2026) Rose currently has:
- 1 billion total users
- 24 million total groups
- 55 million monthly active users
- 2 million monthly active groups
Is Rose an official Telegram project?
No - Rose is not endorsed by Telegram.
But she's been around long enough that maybe she should be... so if anyone at Telegram is reading this, please reach out! :)
Can Rose use Telegram Custom Emoji?
Yes! Telegram bots can use Custom Emoji if their owner is premium.
So, as long as I have premium, Rose will be able to use custom emoji.
How does the Rose handle user data?
Rose's privacy policy is available here.
Is Rose open source?
No, Rose is not open source. Previous experiences with open source on Telegram have been quite negative, so it was decided that Rose should remain closed source.
Additionally, open sourcing Rose would undermine our ability to provide private Rose instances; which leads us to our next point...
Can I run my own Rose?
We've recently released a new service to allow users to run their own private Rose instances, with lots of added customisation options, and features which cannot be added to Rose's free version for logistical or performance reasons.
More details are available on our business website!
How do you make money?
Spam is a problem for everyone - therefore, we believe in keeping Rose free.
But running Rose still costs money, so we've taken some initiatives to help pay for the servers:
- We provide custom clones - which offer paid, customisable versions of Rose.
- A third-party token, MissRose_sol, routes 100% of its fees to us via the creator-rewards mechanism provided by pump.fun.
- Occasional collaborations with third party projects to switch up Rose's profile picture.
We'd still like to reiterate that any collaboration we do is entirely in line with the privacy policy and does not include selling user data!
