This is an screenshot: http://cl.ly/FsE1 (I was not able to put it here with a decent size)

Parallels is a mac software that emulates windows and execute windows applications. The good thing is that supports directs and 3D as well. It's not free software tough...
There is an alternative called virtual box that also support 3D (they say so) but at least with ROSE won't work.

What I did to make it work:

Install parallels.
Install microsoft .net framework 3.5 sp1 as if I were using windows (parallels accepts the challenge)
Install ROSE, update it.

Important thing: go to Settings and set to quality video: LOW - it won't work with good quality even if you have good graphic card in your mac.
Edited: Once you are in, feel free to change the video quality in game.

Requisites: Prepare memory ram. I have 8Gb and this is the result with only one client:

Before than post I tried this experiment in a mac mini i5 8Gb and a macbook pro 13" 6Gb dual core. Works as expected on both machines.

Enjoy as I will!

Or other way is to use boot camp, in this case windows wont run inside fully emulated environment and wont require so much ressources
You can simply install windows on same machine with it. I am not sure how latest Windows 7 works with bootcamp but XP worked just fine

Yes I knew that but all my stuff and apps are for mac. I like mac and I play rose for casual moments, not as much. I don't like to restart everytime I want to log in for a half hour. I was searching for this solution in this forum few days ago and all people said that's not possible, and install windows was the only solution.

Besides that, windows7 is fully supported in mac using bootcamp. But if I wanted to use windows, I could buy a PC instead. I just miss a native ROSE client for osx
