Rose doesn't have ternary or higher relationships.  A work
round for ternary relationships is to represent them as 3
binary relationships, and to indicate somehow that
they are related.  I do this by marking one of the binary
relationships as dependent on the other two.  It isn't 
ideal.  I'd like to hear if anyone has a better approach.
