Rose lived in her family home, transforming part of it into a makeshift infirmary to care for the destitute, while practicing severe self-mortification, including wearing a crown of thorns. Her devotion attracted the attention of the [[Diocese of Lima]] and Dominican [[Religious order|religious]], who supported her charitable works. Canonized in 1671 by Pope Clement X, she is celebrated for her miracles, including healings attributed to her intercession. Her feast day, observed on August 23 in the [[Roman Rite]], draws pilgrims to her shrine in the Basilica of Santo Domingo in [[Lima]], where her relics are venerated. | Rose lived in her family home, transforming part of it into a makeshift infirmary to care for the destitute, while practicing severe self-mortification, including wearing a crown of thorns.
