| Mr Rove, who will step down at the end of August, said he was "deeply proud" to have served Mr Bush and the US.
But he insisted the time was right to leave, saying he was quitting the White House for the sake of his family.
He has worked with Mr Bush since 1993, and was seen as the architect of Mr Bush's 2000 and 2004 election wins.
For this he is highly regarded by Republicans, but at the same time equally reviled by Democrats.
"Karl Rove is moving on down the road," Mr Bush said, standing alongside his friend and colleague at White House.
The president described Mr Rove as a "dear friend" who he had worked alongside for a long time to serve both state and country.
An emotional Mr Rove said working in the White House had been the "joy and honour of a lifetime".
He was full of praise for the president, describing him as a man of decisive action, a man who strengthened the economy, created jobs and undertook bold reforms.
"I will miss, deeply miss, my work here," Mr Rove said, calling his years in the White House "exhilarating".
