Welcome Sean !
Just like bpatters said, it just takes time and patience. I am sure she is thrilled with the new loving home you have provided her, it's just a little overwhelming to her at first, that's all ! She will certainly settle in, and in time...with your love and your patience, she will surely blossom.
My 11 year old daughter Sarah's middle name is Rose ! Her Dad use to call her "Rosebud or Rosebuddy" sometimes when she was little.
Just in case you are unsure how to navigate around here yet ( it took me like a month to learn!) Here are the links to the nutrition threads that bpatters was talking about, below. If you have
any questions
at all, please feel free to ask.
O.K. Here are the links you can just "click" out !

Here is a cavy spirit link on their social behaviours too...which are so very helpful !
Guinea Pigs Social Life
Here is a small excerpt, from this cavy spirit social life page link from above, that I just LOVE.
Imagine being abandoned on another planet with no other human to see or talk to. Just some giant alien creature who tries to kindly interact with you every so often. Well, for some us, that would be cool and fun. But for most of us, wouldn't it be nicer to have someone to share your life with? That's what it means to be a social animal.
Bonding with You versus the The Other Guinea Pig
A common concern we hear about getting two rather than one guinea pig is that the guinea pig won't "bond with me" if he or she has a friend.
Generally speaking, this is not a concern. Guinea pigs are not dog-like in their behavior and bonding with humans. Please don't have those expectations or you are likely to be disappointed.
Guinea pigs all have their own personalities. Some are more friendly than others. Over time (and it can take quite a bit of time with guinea pigs) they will learn to trust you and recognize your scent and sounds. In this process, it doesn't make much difference if they have a friend or not. A friend does make a difference to them when you are not around.
