They should NOT eat daily. That is over-feeding a Tarantula. Roses can gorge themselves and then fast for months, seemingly for no reason. Over-feeding is dangerous; it can make your spider too heavy and increase the risk of an abdomen rupture if they fall while climbing or such... and it can accelerate their lifeline as well... A cricket once a week is just fine, two a week every now and then. Daily is too much.
Why do you hold your spider? I am curious. If it is because you enjoy doing so, I suggest trying to always minimize the risk of falling or injury, and be ready to be bitten, because it may happen. If you handle your Rose because you think she likes it/needs it, please stop. It is stressful to spiders to be handled, and there is no reason to do it for their sake, only your own. If you do like to handle her, please try not to get too comfortable due to her calm nature. If you get too comfortable, you may accidentally risk her wellbeing by forgetting she can suddenly bolt away quickly, kick hair, or bite.
