Rose Walker is a fictional character from the Sandman series written by Neil Gaiman. She makes her first appearance in issue #10, part one of The Doll's House story arc. She is a beautiful young girl, a blonde with red- and purple-dyed streaks in her hair. (In later issues she is shown as having red hair with a blonde streak.) There are various indications that Rose is, or became, one of the immortals occasionally featured in Sandman. Desire of the Endless is Rose's maternal grandparent (Desire is an "it" and impregnated Rose's grandmother with no semen transfer), and there are various examples through the book of characters falling in love or lust with her very easily, perhaps through this influence.

“I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. As a lily among brambles, so is my love among maidens. As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.”

“The good news may be that Nature is phasing out the white man, but the bad news is that’s who She thinks we all are.”
