It depends highly on the status of your farm (such as farm level, barn size) and whether you mind spending the diamonds. In my case (farm level 168), I often hire Rose around Friday in preparation for the derby next week (I am usually done with the current derby by Wednesday). It helps to have her store up lots of eggs and milk and some wool and bacon without taking up your own barn space. Then around Sunday and Monday when I start stacking my machines in prep for the derby, for items that require the items that Rose is collecting, she will supply them continuously without my having to stop to keep the barn full. (You might not understand if you are not into "stacking".) I also hire Ernest to stock up on creams and butter, and later on cheese and goat milk if my stocks are low, for the same reason. Cheese and goat milk takes longer and so I don't want to slow down Ernest when he hasn't collected much cream and butter yet. For this reason, I look forward to getting free Rose and free Ernest during booster events.
