In 1860 George Mclean Rose and Robert Hunter worked at the printing offices of Thompson & Co. in Quebec, Canada. Thompson was dissolved that year and in 1861 it was bought out by Rose and Hunter. In 1864 Hunter, Rose & Co. successfully bid in its own name a five-year contract as legislative printers to the Province of Canada. In 1865/66 their offices moved to Ottawa and again to Toronto in 1871. In 1965 it became a division of the Copp Clark Pitman Co., and in 1983 the Hunter, Rose & Company was dissolved.
