Rough House Rosie is a 1927 American silent romantic comedy film produced and released by Paramount Pictures and directed by Frank Strayer. The film is a starring vehicle for Clara Bow who was then Paramount's most popular actress. Reed Howes, a model turned actor, is Bow's leading man.

The film was based on the story of the same name by Nunnally Johnson that appeared in The Saturday Evening Post.[2] The story was adapted for the screen by Max Marcin, with a screenplay by Louise Long and Ethel Doherty and titles by George Marion, Jr.[3] Rough House Rosie is now presumed lost, but a 53-second trailer survives. Although New clips have appeared in a 2012 Documentary Clara Bow: Hollywood's Lost Screen Goddess, however the complete status is unclear. [4]
