Who is Johnny Rose in Schitt's Creek?
The video-store magnate, rebuilding from room 7 · The Roses
Johnny Rose (The video-store magnate, rebuilding from room 7) is a character in Schitt's Creek, part of The Roses. Johnny Rose built Rose Video into a national empire and lost it overnight to a business manager who paid for everything except the taxes — leaving the family one asset the government didn't want: a small town Johnny once bought his son as a joke. From two motel rooms, the patriarch in the immaculate suits sets about rebuilding with the only tools that survived the seizure: courtesy, decency and an unkillable instinct for the deal. The eyebrows do the suffering; the man keeps showing up.
