After his museum collapses and he loses his job, he becomes a strict stay-at-home parent while Ivy supports the family. His jealousy and conflict with Ivy escalate into a destructive divorce struggle. Hattie Rose (Younger) (played by Delaney Quinn) appears in The Roses. Hattie is one of Ivy and Theo's twin children during their younger years. She is raised amid their contrasting parenting styles, as Ivy encourages desserts and enjoyable activities while Theo emphasizes health and exercise. Her childhood helps expose the growing divide between her parents and their competing approaches to family life. Hattie Rose (Older) (played by Hala Finley) appears in The Roses. Hattie is Ivy and Theo's thirteen-year-old daughter in the later part of the story. Alongside Roy, she is described as a prodigy and is accepted into a Miami school on a sports scholarship.
