There is no A Rose listed as killed in the Boer war.
There are two C. Rose and one C E Rose listed as being killed.

CAPTAIN CE ROSE AGE 27 WAS KILLED IN ACTION AT WINBERG DISTRICT,WELKOM FARM
ON 4 MAY 1900. HE WAS IN THE ROYAL HORSE GUARDS.

Source IN MEMORIAM by Steve Watt. I would imagine from that information
that he was a career soldier from a well to do family and had not just joined up
for the war. I can let you have the information from the same source for the
two C. Rose if you feel that he might be one of them. Let me know.
Good hunting
