He shares a close friendship with members of AC/DC, marked by their shared appreciation for classic rock and frequent gatherings at La Roca Power Studio.[8][9] His collaboration with Slash of Guns N’ Roses led to various projects over the years, where Rodríguez's studio serves as a setting for Slash’s guitar-driven, iconic rock sessions.[10]

In addition to rock musicians, Rodríguez also has a notable friendship with Johnny Depp, who began visiting La Roca Power Studio in the 2010s. Their sessions combine Depp’s musical style with Rodríguez’s network, facilitating a space where artists from diverse backgrounds can freely experiment.[11]

In 2023, Yellow Rose became the main sponsor of Ellerstina for the Triple Crown, Argentina's top polo tournament, consisting of the Hurlingham Open, the Tortugas Open, and the Argentine Open. The team, featuring players such as Nicolás Pieres, Gonzalo Pérez, Bautista Bayugar, and Ignatius Du Plessis, presented their new lineup and official jersey at an event in Buenos Aires.[17][18] Beyond competitive polo, Yellow Rose is also known for its philanthropic initiatives, organizing charity events that combine high handicap polo with music to raise funds for social causes.[19] The club has hosted some of the world's most renowned polo players, including Polito Pieres, Ignacio Figueras, and Facundo Pieres.[20]  In partnership with the Fundación Compromiso and the Municipality of General Rodríguez, Yellow Rose also supports programs aimed at providing free vocational training in digital skills such as digital marketing, e-commerce, and programming for people over 16 years old.[21]
