Rose Gonzales was born at San Juan Pueblo (now Ohkay Owingeh) in 1900 and, soon after, became an orphan when her parents died from the flu epidemic. She and her sister survived by attending the Santa Fe Indian School in residence. She married Robert Gonzales of San Ildefonso Pueblo in 1920 and moved to his pueblo at that time. She learned the art of pottery making from Robert's mother, Ramona Sanchez Gonzales.
