Reflections on a Failed Venture
Whitney Rose and her husband, Justin Rose, have candidly shared their experience of a business venture gone awry. This setback was highlighted during the premiere of RHOSLC‘s Season 6, where Whitney confided in her castmates about the emotional toll it has taken.
On their recent RV camping trip, Whitney expressed her sense of defeat. Justin, in his first public comment, suggested it might be a signal to balance their focus, given their all-in approach didn’t pan out as expected.
The Desire for Change
Around the campfire, Whitney shared her longing to be a “stay-at-home mom.” The business failure has rekindled her desire to focus on her family. “I just want to be home,” Whitney said, alluding to the necessity of figuring out new ways to support her family financially.
Understanding the Business Setback
In a confessional, Whitney delved deeper into the business tale. She and Justin had merged Wild Rose Beauty with another entity, witnessing initial success. However, as business fortunes declined, they found themselves grappling with the “phase of failure.”
The repercussions were significant; Whitney admitted to having to let go of 30 employees. This professional downturn weighed heavily on her, as she believed she had failed her employees, customers, and family.
A New Dawn for Wild Rose Beauty
Come September 2025, Whitney seemed to have turned a corner. She shared a positive update on Instagram, announcing the comeback of Wild Rose Beauty. She explained how this setback redirected her life path, offering her a chance to reconnect with her original vision.
The announcement was coupled with a press release, heralding her reclaiming full ownership of Wild Rose Beauty. This move signals a new era of independence and innovation for the brand.
In her own words, “This relaunch is deeply personal… it’s about uplifting and celebrating authenticity.” Her RHOSLC castmate, Bronwyn Newport, commended her bravery and the inspiration she provides to others navigating struggles.
As she strides forward, let’s not forget the support from fellow Bravolebs that guided Whitney through these challenging times.
