Rosemarket is a village, parish and community in Pembrokeshire, Wales, north of Milford Haven.
The name does not refer to flowers but to the hundred of Roose, the former Welsh cantref of Rhos. [2]
The village was a marcher borough founded by the Knights Hospitallers in the 12th century. It appears on a 1578 parish map of Pembrokeshire. [3] Owen, in 1603, described it as one of nine Pembrokeshire "boroughs in decay". [4]
The parish church, like many in the former lands of Rhos, is dedicated to the 6th-century Breton prince and Welsh saint Ismael. The village has a medieval dovecote [5] and a large hillfort.
The village has its own elected community council and is part of the electoral ward of Burton for the purposes of elections to Pembrokeshire County Council.

This does not derive automatically from criteria, but in England and Wales it was traditionally given to cathedral towns under practices laid down in the early 1540s, when Henry VIII founded dioceses. City status was lost in 1886, but restored in 1994 at the request of Queen Elizabeth II.
