Rosewood is, in general, a good indication that the pipes are both not made in Scotland, Canada, or even the USA and not of very high quality. I own a set of rosewood pipes that were a (misguided and unresearched) gift from my parents. They're completely unplayable, the bag smells very strongly of naphthalene, and they're very prone to cracking.

You generally don't get better than what you pay for, though in this case I'd be very worried you're actually getting far less than what you paid for.
