How to counter rose:
We all know know that rose is kinda superior compared to most char right now. Mostly because of her highly damaging homing bullet. Coupled with two disabling abilities and a pretty good escape abilit...

Make some change in my guide based at what I saw and some suggestion in here.

Arcane Enigma - Rose does take damage on the default version where she can pulse damage. I've played her and taken damage and died. The version the default had in the beta had no pulse damage, but could escape. it acted much like scientists 2nd warp ability from GW1.
Common sense is to fight her at long ranges near immediate cover... or up close where her homing thistles can't turn quick enough. Team shooting is also a great option.
I'm pretty sure Arcane Enigma could also do the burst back in beta. Athough only two of them. And yeah you can still damage her during the start of arcane Enigma (and during the end,while she vulnerable).

I have definitely found a bit more success against rose at mid-close range where her homing effect isn't as powerful as it is long range.
Weird,But I guess it depend of the class. Rose bullet might be slow,but they have no damage dropoff. So it might be a valid strategy.
unfortunately the only way I've seen effectively to counter rose is:
long range: sniping w/cover...however it takes so long sometimes that I feel I'm better off helping the team sniping other targets instead of that one or 5 roses on higher ground.
mid range: go to sniping range w/cover or close to short range w/a friend,
short range: scientist or any other close range zombie like super brainz, roadie (amp gun), or ganged up on w/other zombies.
once rose's wpn is upgraded, it seems she just shreds everyone from the further point in the map w/little effort...except ice rose, as I have seen her w/the same shredding ability as standard upgraded rose, druid, or fire rose.
I was able to get some kills on Rose in Herbal assault by going in as Paleontologist. Players are likely looking to get to the next graveyard than keep an eye on all the enemies coming towards you, so it is easier to get to mid-range where the dino blaster has slightly more effective than other weapons. Of course, remaining 11 Roses will vanquish you in the next second or two.
The key is definitely to be aggressive when playing against her. Don't sit back, if you have an ability to get close, use it. Close quarters is your best bet.
