Pepper Ann began life as a comic strip created by Rose in the early 1990s for YM magazine. The animated series received popular and critical acclaim and earned numerous awards including Parent's Choice and Girls Inc.
Rose and Ferrone later created the animated television show Angela Anaconda (spin-off of KaBlam!), which aired on Fox Family Channel from 1999 to 2001. Rose was also the voice of Angela. The cut-out animation show also aired on Teletoon in Canada.
