He was born in Marienburg, German Empire (now, Malbork, Poland),[2] grew up in Machias, Maine, and died in Hollywood, California, of a heart attack.[3] He was one of the founders of the American Society of Cinematographers.[4] Rosen was married to model and actress Joyzelle Joyner.

Rosen was meant to direct The Mad Dog of Europe, a film written by Herman J. Mankiewicz with Rudolph Hitler as its central character, but the film was never made.[5]
