In your previous post you stated that the female rose had molted some time ago. If she has not been bred by a male the eggs are infertile and the whole thing's a dud.
However, if you have bred here since her last molt, there is a fairly good chance that the eggs are fertile. If so, you need to raise the humidity in that cage enough so the eggs don't dessicate and die; and you need to do so NOW. Dampen the substrate with room temperature tap water and cover the open part of the cage with plastic food wrap to hold in the humidity.
Then get back to us about whether she's been bred since her last molt.The Tarantula Whisperer!

Wait until she molts again, then find her a fresh male for a boyfriend. (A male that has matured within the last month.) Then try the reproduction thing for real.
Best of luck.The Tarantula Whisperer!
