How would you pronounce Rose?

How would you pronounce Rose? Just like Roos, or with the English R?
We'd like to use it as a middle name for Jadi (so Jadi Rose), because we don't think Jadi Roos looks good. But we do want to pronounce it like the Dutch Roos.

Haha, that's funny, my name is Rose too! My parents are French, so they pronounce my name as 'Roos' but with a French accent. I notice that when people see my name written somewhere, they tend to go for the English pronunciation. Unless my French last name is there too, then they don't. But Dutch people don't pronounce my name in French, but rather just like the Dutch 'Roos'.
Just write Rose if you think it looks nicer. After all, it's only a second name, right?
