[edit] Weather Alerts
The Rose is one of three FM radio partners of WGAL-TV 8, in which any type of news or weather story comes to them via Channel 8. This is a high mark because WGAL is one of the most watched TV stations in the area and one of the most respected. WROZ is also the designated Emergency Alert System station for Lancaster County where all the emergency information such as tornado warnings airs on The Rose automatically.
[edit] Flashback Friday
Every Friday, they dedicate the airwaves to all 80s and early 90s with "Flashback Friday." On Friday, June 26 the station extended their Flashback feature to 24 hours (it would cut off at 7 pm on Fridays for the now-cancelled Delilah program). One weekend out of the month, they dedicate the whole weekend to the 1980s and 1990s with a "Flashback Weekend."

On February 24, 2007, 101 The Rose debuted a new show called "Movin and Groovin Saturday Night" hosted by Michael C. Anthony. This show deals with dance hits and also heavy on disco music. It runs every Saturday Night from 9PM-12A.
[edit] Christmas Music
Every year, around mid-November they position themselves as "Central PA's Christmas Station, playing wall-to-wall holiday favorites to usher in the busy holiday season. The sounds of the seasons include standards, instrumentals, and contemporary favorites. They are consistently ranked high during this period and frequently get tons of advertisers to air their holiday ads on the air. Most frequent artists for the holiday season include Trans Siberian Orchestra, Amy Grant, Hanny Connick, Jr, Manhattan Transfer, and Jose Feliciano.
In 2009, the station has stated through a series of on-air commercials featuring Bill Baldwin, the station's General Manager, that Christmas music will not be played until the night of Thanksgiving at 6:00 PM. This was based on a survey that ran on the station's Web page.
