The Rose Family is a once wealthy and affluent family taking up residence in the small town of Schitt's Creek. They currently live in the Rosebud Motel, a motel in which they own.

History

Years ago, Johnny Rose invested his entire savings, $2,000, into a video rental business called Rose Video. Rose Video eventually expanded to become one of the largest video rental store companies in North America, leaving Johnny with a sizable fortune. During this period, Johnny met his future wife, Moira, at a Rose Video store opening. Moira formerly starred as Vivien Blake on Sunrise Bay, a once-popular daytime soap opera, which gave the family even more money and a large social standing as minor celebrities and socialites. Together, Johnny and Moira had two children: David and Alexis.

After decades at the helm, Johnny's time as CEO of Rose Video came to an abrupt end when he was informed that his business manager, Eli, had been embezzling money from the company for years instead of paying taxes, and the government had no choice but to repossess all of his assets -- save for the town of Schitt's Creek, which he jokingly bought for David as a birthday present. Currently, the family have taken up residence in the Schitt's Creek Motel, a small run-down lodging inside the town.

While in Schitt's Creek, the family have gained quite prominent positions within society: Moira becoming a member of the Town Council, Johnny becoming the co-owner of the Schitt's Creek Motel (now the Rosebud Motel), David opening up his own small-business, the Rose Apothecary, and Alexis creating her own public relations venture, Alexis Rose Communications.
