Charles Grandison Rose III (August 10, 1939 – September 3, 2012) was a Democratic United States Congressman from North Carolina who served from 1973 to 1997.

Rose spent 24 years in Washington representing a district that included his hometown of Fayetteville and much of North Carolina’s southeast.

He became one of the most powerful lawmakers in Congress and used his seat on the House Agriculture Committee to back the interests of farmers, especially tobacco growers back home.

The Charlie Rose Congressional Collection contains materials spanning his legislative service to the 7th District of North Carolina. This collection was digitized in 2020 with funding from a Library Services and Technology Act grant from the State of North Carolina.
