"Wally Rose was one of three sons born to Janet Pecansu and Manuel Rodrigues (The family changed its name to Rose before Wally's birth). He was born at home in Oakland, California, October 2, 1913. His parents were of Portuguese descent and natives of Hawaii, so the Rose family sailed to Honolulu many times during his childhood. Rose attended the first through third grades in Honolulu before settling with his family in San Francisco. His family's home was on the southwest corner of 20th and Diamond Streets in the Eureka Valley, not far from the schools of Mission Dolores and Most Holy Redeemer Church, which he also attended.

"Mr. Rose always gave credit to his mother for the encouragement to learn the piano. After attending Oakland's Lockwood Junior High School, Rose attended Castlemont High School. He first studied piano with Miss Alice Eggers, a distinguished music teacher at Castlemont High School. In the 1930s piano studies were continued with Miss Elizabeth Simpson, who had studios in Berkeley and San Francisco.

"After graduation from Castlemont High School he played in dance bands aboard ships around the world in the early 1930s, including a sea-going unit of the Anson Weeks Orchestra. In 1938, Rose was pianist in the dance band of Harry Barris, composer of "I Surrender Dear" and formerly of The Rhythm Boys. He also performed as soloist in many restaurants before he joined Lu Watters in 1940. Rose's recording of George Botsford's "Black And White Rag" [Jazz Man Record No. 1, recorded in San Francisco, March 22, 1942] initiated the premier revival of ragtime which raged worldwide during the 1940s and '50s."
