The Wild Rose is a modern cocktail that was first published in The Official Downton Abbey Cocktail Book by Lou Bustamante. It was created as a variation of the Prince of Wales that calls for sparkling wine, pineapple, cherry, and bitters but uses whiskey as the base spirit instead of tequila. The drink was named for Lady Rose MacClare, one of the more fun-loving and rebellious female characters in the television show Downton Abbey, and according to the book, it uses tequila because it was a spirit that would've been known in 1920s England but less common because it was from the Americas, where Lady Rose eventually moves.

Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
