If a rose joint is what you call vertical it will have the advantage of a vertically transmitted load going into the casing of the rose joint. If horizontal as per your picture only the rose retaining clip or whatever will resist the load and may fail under duress. I would not be keen to see some of my suspension joints with horizontal rose joints for this reason. IMHO of course!!!!
