The film story is adapted from the widely read novel by Agnes and Edgerton Castle, and Miss Ferguson plays the part of Rosamond, the wife of Capt. Harry English, an officer in the British army, who is slain by the natives in India. Rosamond marries Sir Arthur Gerardine, the aged lieutenant-governor, and then discovers that her love for her first husband is constantly increasing, until the very presence of Sir Arthur is repugnant to her. A friend of Capt. English, Major Bethune, complicates matters by losing his heart to Rosamond.
As the story is unfolded Rosamond becomes involved in a web of great dramatic intensity which drives her to the verge of madness. Miss Ferguson is noted for her interpretations of emotional roles, and in "Rose of the World" she has taken advantage of the opportunities afforded to display her talent.
Maurice Tourneur, who has contributed some of the best photoplays ever produced, staged the film, which is a typical Artcraft offering.
A strong cast supports Miss Ferguson, including Wyndham Standing, Percy Marmont, Ethel Martin and Sloane De Masber.
