McCorkell, after starting drag in 2017, performed in a queer play as part of the Capital Fringe Festival, in Washington, D.C.[5] He originally considered making “PIG.” his drag name.[6] Then he, together with queens Jan Sport and Lagoona Bloo, formed the pop group Stephanie's Child in 2018.[7] In 2017, Rosé won the Lady Liberty drag competition in New York after 12 weeks of competition against 73 other drag kings and queens.[5] He graduated from Wichita State University.[8]
Rosé's casting on the thirteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race was announced on 9 December 2020.[9] Rosé performed well in the competition, winning three challenges, including the Rusical,[10] and ultimately reaching the top four alongside Gottmik, Kandy Muse, and Symone.[11] Rosé was one of two contestants to never be up for elimination during the season, along with Gottmik. Rosé was eliminated during the finale episode in a lip sync battle against Kandy Muse, ultimately tying with Gottmik as second/third runner up.[12]
After the airing of the Snatch Game episode, Rosé posted a mini-series to Instagram's IGTV and YouTube titled Mary, Queen of Scots, performing as the Snatch Game character.[13] The mini-series has featured some of Rosé's friends, including Jan and Matthew Camp.[13]
McCorkell released his debut single as a solo artist on 7 May 2021, called "The Devil in the Details".[14]
