SHE HATED IT unless you mean the dress-up Mother game which I only got to play very briefly before I was called away to do real world things. In which case, SHE LOVED IT. It was a nice reprieve from reality.

But assuming that you mean the Jabberwock game.....
Rose hated it for many reasons: she hates being forced to make a choice that might ultimately doom them (mostly as a visceral reaction to her suicide mission memory, which she still doesn't understand and isn't sure if she WANTS to). She hates that other teams have to be put in jeopardy because of Peridot's actions. She hates that she can't save everyone that's important to her, and especially hates that Iolite died -- mostly for selfish reasons, because she couldn't catch the Attack stones before they fell onto the board. Rose is really cursing her clumsiness, her slowness; maybe if she had more skills back, this wouldn't have happened, you know?

Especially since one of her friends was on Iolite (or at least, someone who is quickly becoming a friend) and so she feels especially guilty. She will probably make the entire team "forgive me for what I wasn't able to do" hats.

It was not a fun victory. She honestly doesn't think that Peridot deserved to win, with how much drama they had and how much feelings jenga they played. The cookie she got from Jabberwock is sitting in Peridot, probably getting musty under her pillow.

Initial impressions of Rose?

Jaina thinks Rose is an intelligent young woman. She's honestly a little unsure how to approach her because Jaina's first trauma game had her push a button to torture Lelouch and she ended up watching. So there's still some of her own Peridot guilt.

Anyway! Rose seems nice, and Jaina would love to get to know her more. Like most kids that have positive impressions, she does kind of want to look out for Rose, because that's...what she does! Rose is nice, she shouldn't have to deal with watching others painfully revive, or suffer that herself, etc. Which actually helped her keep from freezing up after Jabberwock's game, because it gave her something she needed to focus on: can't freeze up, Rose is right there and looking miserable, there are others that need worried about.

-EDITED FOR QUESTION SWITCH I never did ask what Rose thinks of Jaina. XD
