Rosebush is a small agricultural community in Isabella County, located about 8 miles north of Mount Pleasant. Its economic support comes from a few local stores and small businesses, a grain elevator and its location as a commuter city to the Mount Pleasant area.

Rosebush began in 1844 when Cornelius Bogan started a general store. He called the town: "Halfway" because it was approximately half way between Clare and Mount Pleasant. In 1868, the Ann Arbor railroad came through the area and resident James Bush, while officially platting the land, bartered with the railroad some of his property for the right to have the station named after his wife, Rose.
