Jill Rose, the president of the International Center of Photography, died yesterday at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. She was 52 and lived in Manhattan. The cause was cancer, said her husband, Marshall Rose, the chairman emeritus of the New York Public Library. Mrs. Rose, who was active in many civic and cultural affairs, was elected to the International Center of Photography's board of trustees in 1981 and became the board's president in 1989.

She graduated from Ohio State University in 1964, and received a master's degree in social work at Hunter College in 1993. She was married in 1965 to Mr. Rose, the chief executive officer of the Georgetown Group, a privately held real estate and financial service group. In addition to her husband, Mrs. Rose is survived by her father, Nathan Kupin of Great Neck, L.I.; a daughter, Wendi Rose of New York; a son, Andrew Rose of Santa Monica, Calif., and a sister, Barbara Lembo of New York.
