Entitled This & That, it features two stainless steel cones - one suspended from the ceiling and the other rising from the floor.
Mr Rose is behind a number of contemporary pieces outdoors, including steel structure Everchanging close to Newcastle's Stowell Street.
The pieces took three months to make and polish, and each weighs about a tonne.
Mr Rose said: "The idea for the work was to create two elements which, when placed together, would create a visual dialogue or conversation."
