Uriah Milton Rose (March 5, 1834 – August 12, 1913) was an American lawyer, and Confederate sympathizer.He "disliked his first name intensely and never used his first name when he could avoid it". "Approachable, affable, and kind," graceful and courteous, he was called "the most scholarly lawyer in America" and "one of the leading legal lights of the nation", "a towering figure in the...life of Little Rock".
He was a founder of the American Bar Association, of which he was twice president, 1891–92 and 1901-02.Another Arkansas judge, J.
T.Coston, described him thus: Arkansas is the home of the late U.M.Rose, a scholar and statesman.Judge Rose was one of the great lawyers not only of Arkansas but of the United States.
Cultured, refined and modest as a woman, with a titanic intellect, he was a general favorite wherever he was known.
Judge Dillon, after being thrown with him on numerous occasions at long intervals, pronounced Judge Rose the most cultured man he had ever known.
He loved his profession, and I heard him state only a year or two before he died, while attending the Arkansas Bar Association, that during his more than half a century experience in the practice of law he had never had a serious misunderstanding with a brother lawyer.
President Theodore Roosevelt called him "the brainiest man I have ever met".
