Dorien Rose was born in the city of Haarlem, the Netherlands, but soon moved to Hong Kong with her Dutch father and German mother. Her first language was English as she grew up in the expatriate community of Discovery Bay, where she also attended the international kindergarten. During that period also her only sister Nadia was born. As a six year old she returned to the Netherlands (Bloemendaal) and eventually settled in Limburg close to the German and Belgium border. She mastered the Dutch and German language quickly through the family contacts in both countries.
During her high school days she lived in the protected environment of the family farm in Nuth with many animals and surrounded by beautiful nature. In those days she spent most of her leisure time with caring for her horse and animals and competed for many years in dressage. At the age of 18, after having graduated from high school with subsequently completed a one year course as beautician she decided to move back to Haarlem, a more dynamic area in Holland. Her ambitions to pursue a career as a model were first triggered during a vacation in Kenya where she was asked to participate in a fashion show, and also had her first photo-shoot. In 2003 she received her first professional contracts for Panorama, Snoecks and other Dutch magazines shot by photographer duo Hans Toonen and Wientjens in Ibiza, Spain.
