The Rose was not far from where the Globe was, but they were not really very contemporaneous. The Rose had been built in 1587. The Globe was built in 1599, practically next door to it. The Admiral's Men, who were using the Rose at this time, found that they could not complete with the Globe because the Rose was old, small, and smelly. They therefore built a new (and fabulously sumptuous) theatre in the North of London called The Fortune, and abandoned The Rose, which was used very infrequently thereafter.

In 1600 the Globe was to the south and west of the church of St. Mary Overies (now Southwark Cathedral). The Rose was to the northwest of the Globe and there was a beargarden to the northwest of that, right along the river. The Swan, a well-built but badly-managed theatre, was a lot further to the west, being across the river from Blackfriars Gate and the mouth of the Fleet. In 1614 a new combination bear garden and theatre, the Hope, was built just to the south of where the old bear garden had been, very close to the Globe, which was being rebuilt after the fire.
