Provenance
James Logan recorded the Rose sett in 1831, on page 407 of the Table of Clan Tartans in The Scottish Gaël — the earliest systematic published collection of clan setts. Logan gives the stripe widths in eighths of an inch, measured across the cloth and reflected about each end (a half-sett):
½ red · 5 blue · 5 black · 5 green · ½ white · 2 black · ½ white · 5 green · 5 black · 5 blue · 1 red
In threads (at 8 to the eighth-inch) that is R/4 B40 K40 G40 W4 K16 W4 G40 K40 B40 R/8. Logan named his colours rather than dyeing to a standard, so the palette here is the Dictionary's modern reading of his names.
See Logan's Scottish Gaël for the full table and method.

Later records of the Rose name adjusted Logan's counts: Rose; Rose Hunting; Rose White Dress; Rosevear. Compare their thread counts with Logan's above.
