From 1978–2002 this race ran as the Peter Pan Stakes in honour of dual Melbourne Cup champion Peter Pan.

Kapalaran was the inaugural winner in 1978. The following year the Peter Pan Stakes winner was subsequent triple Cox Plate hero Kingston Town.

Sportsman (2002) was the last horse to win before the event was renamed the Golden Rose Stakes.

The first official Golden Rose Stakes winner under the new race name in 2003 was In Top Swing.

Forensics (2008) was the last filly to win the Golden Rose Stakes.

Exosphere holds the current 1400m Golden Rose Stakes race record winning in 2015 in a time of 1 minute 21:83 seconds.

In 2019 Bivouac became the latest horse to do the Run To The Rose – Golden Rose double.

In 2020 Ole Kirk became the latest three-year-old to complete the interstate Golden Rose – Caulfield Guineas double.

The 2022 Golden Rose Stakes winner Jacquinot stormed home up the middle late to run down the favourite In Secret.

The 2023 Golden Rose Stakes winner was the Chris Waller-trained Dundeel colt Militarize ($6.50) who came from nowhere late to flash home off a gun ride by the ‘Magic Man’ Joao Moreira on way to the Caulfield Guineas in Melbourne.

The 2024 Golden Rose Stakes winner was the James Cummings-trained Too Darn Hot colt Broadsiding ($2.15F) who saluted first-up in a historic head-bob victory over his Run To The Rose winning stablemate Traffic Warden. Broadsiding became the first horse to win the Golden Rose first-up.
