He was president and managing director of the Rosamond Woollen Company and vice-president and managing director of the Almonte Knitting Company, both of which were inherited from his father James Rosamond. He was Reeve and Mayor of Almonte. He was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in an 1891 by-election for the riding of Lanark North. A Conservative, he was re-elected in 1896 and 1900.
