Rose's round included a triple bogey eight on the 17th, where he chipped into the water after pitching over the green.
Already 13 strokes behind early pacesetter Soren Kjeldsen, one of the two players he beat in a play-off a year ago, the 28-year-old described his performance as "terrible".
Rose lies 81st on the Order of Merit and unless he climbs 30 places his defence of the Harry Vardon Trophy will be the worst since Dale Hayes in 1976.
He added: "I'm just playing poorly right now - everything is hard work."
When asked about the three events he still has on his schedule before Christmas Rose stated: "Maybe."
The first is the HSBC Champions in Shanghai, the opening event of next season's "Race To Dubai", but Rose commented: "The only reason to play there is to get a result under my belt, but at the moment it feels like a waste of time.
"I can't wait not to play again for a long while."
He blames poor scheduling for his disappointing season on both sides of the Atlantic, having managed only two top 10 finishes on the US Tour and one in Europe.
"I feel like I've slightly messed up this year a little bit," he admitted on the eve of the tournament he won after a play-off against Simon Dyson and Soren Kjeldsen last November.
"I feel what worked so well for me last year - taking quite a bit of time off, taking weeks off before majors - has not worked this year.
"It has been stops and starts and I don't feel like I've got a lot of momentum going. That's probably one area I can look at."
