Bose came from the Saxon Uradelsgeschlecht those Bose renounced the use of the noble predicate that consciously at the spelling of his name. He was the son of the Privy Councilor Christoph Dietrich Bose the Elder (1628–1708) and his wife Ursula nee von Gustedt (1636–1694) from the Deersheim family . His brothers were the cathedral provost Johann Balthasar Bose , the general Adam Heinrich Bose , the Merseburg secret and appeal councilor Wolf Dietrich Bose and the lieutenant colonel Gottlob Sigismund Bose.

After attending school and taking a cavalier tour, Bose went to the Electoral Saxon court as a chamberlain in 1689 , where he was quickly noticed because of his education and dexterity. In 1690 he became Legation and Appeal Council, soon afterwards Privy Council of War and finally Real Privy Council. He was also the imperial master of the Reichspfennig in Upper and Lower Saxony. He carried out numerous international missions and took part in important negotiations. In 1697, for example, at the peace negotiations in Rijswijk to end the War of the Palatinate Succession, he was the directional envoy of the Protestant estates. After the Saxon Elector Augustus the Strong converted to the Catholic faith in the same year , Bose - faithfully devoted to the Evangelical Lutheran faith - preserved the rights of the regional church . In discussions with his opponents, however, he often allowed himself to be carried away to careless statements and judgments and thus gave them excuses for suspicion and slander. After further trips to Denmark and Moscow , among others , he fell into royal disgrace in 1705 after returning from Great Britain after the intervention of his opponents because of supposedly too high travel costs.

Several years followed on his estates, where he was able to bring Oberhof and Unterhof back into one hand in 1714 in Frankleben. Eventually he became the Real Privy Councilor and Supervisor of Mansfeld County. Finally he was again accused of several irregularities, first arrested on the Sonnenstein and after a few more years on his property, finally in 1738 in the Pleißenburg in Leipzig . He spent a total of nine years in prison . Finally he died in 1741 as a state prisoner on the Pleißenburg.

On November 30, 1741 he was buried in his family's hereditary funeral in Frankleben.
