The village is home to the Ballydoyle Stables, which is the horseracing training establishment of Vincent O'Brien. Rosegreen is in the barony of Middle Third.

Name

The name Rosegreen is a corruption of Roe's Green. It was named after the landlord Andrew Roe, who died in 1722 and whose tomb lies in the village graveyard in the ruins of the old church. The older name for the village was Rathmacarthy ().

Sport

Rosegreen is home to Rosegreen GAA which is based in Páirc an Phobail. The club was founded in 1955 and the team colours are blue and white. The club declined in the 1960s due to emigration because of unemployment in the small rural village and as a result disbanded in 1970. However, a population increase in the late-1970s saw the team reform in 1981.
