Roses Discount Stores (originally known as Rose's 5¢ 10¢ 25¢ Stores[2]) is a regional discount store in the United States with its headquarters in Henderson, North Carolina. The chain has stores in fifteen states, primarily in the South.

Roses was purchased by Variety Wholesalers Inc. in 1997[3][4] and the company's Roses Division has approximately 175 stores which compete chiefly with Walmart and Target. In 2010, the Roses Division began expanding beyond its original base of stores in the South, opening stores in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana.
