UGHHHH

Rose is not some macho fighter! She is a healer, a thinker, a creator, NOT a fighter! She knows nothing about fighting, strategy, or warcraft! She is not a candidate for bloodwrath, and she hates fighting.

In a moment of desperation, she may take on someone/something many times her size (such as when Badrang was beating on Grumm), but she would likely die in the attempt (Like she did in Martin the Warrior. Enough said there)

And if Rose had lived (which means Grumm is dead) and if Martin had still beaten Badrang (admit it, bloodwrath was a major contribution to Martin's victory, and the bloodwrath stemmed from Rose's death),

What need would they have for going to Mossflower?

None! The would have stayed at Noonvale, gotten married and had kids. The end. Woodlanders in Mossflower lose, unless Dinny and Gonff went alone to get Boar and Dinny or Gonff began Dinny or Gonff the Warrior.
