Background
Roses is hired as a butler for the Joestar Family around 1958, since Holy was a child. When Holy becomes sick and Joseph Joestar travels to Egypt, Roses is left to take care of Suzi Q.↗
Stardust Crusaders (1988-1989)
Joseph stays in touch with Roses throughout his journey to relay his situation and ask about Holy's condition. Just before reaching Egypt, Joseph calls Roses from his submarine but Suzi Q answers the phone instead. When Suzi Q asks Joseph what dress she should wear, Roses manages to make her leave the room by telling her to consider her blue dress. After Suzi Q leaves, Roses mentions to Joseph that Holy insists that she only has a cold, but her actual condition is worsening by the day.↗↗
Later that night, Roses listens to Suzi Q speaking with Jotaro Kujo on the phone. As Suzi Q wonders why Jotaro is traveling with his grandpa, Roses thinks to himself and cries about how the Joestar men are fighting to save Holy. The next day, Roses tells Suzi Q that it's the first time something like this has happened in his thirty years of working for their family, but Suzi Q tells him he's overreacting since it's only a business trip.↗↗↗
While the Joestar Group is battling in DIO's mansion, Roses takes Suzi Q and a Speedwagon Foundation member to visit Holy. The Speedwagon Foundation member questions if Roses told Suzi Q about the severity of her daughter's Stand-based sickness. Roses replied that he tried, but didn't have the courage because he couldn't stand to see Suzi Q sad.↗
Due to the possibility of Joseph not making it in time, leaving only a few days for Suzi Q to see her daughter before her death, Roses decides to tell her the truth to prepare her. Because of Suzi's childish, carefree and curious behavior towards Japan, she disregards what Roses has to say, which eventually leads to her getting in trouble with a yakuza member.↗↗
