Rosa, a native of the Liguria region of Italy, had an unusual technique of using a forehand on both sides of her body. She stopped hitting a backhand on the recommendation of a coach, due to an injury sustained to her right hand.[1]

While competing on tour in the 1970s she was at her height the fourth ranked player in Italy. She reached the third round of the 1976 French Open and was a doubles bronze medalist at the 1979 Mediterranean Games.[2]
