Life

He was the son of the city treasurer of Marienberg and attended the secondary school in Annaberg .

On August 25, 1891, he joined forces with a partner, Philipp Kühner, to form the Rösch & Kühner publishing house in Leipzig.

As editor he dared to publish a yearbook for the Ore Mountains in 1884, which he lucked out! and which was dedicated to the friends of the Ore Mountains. This yearbook, which was published by Carl Reissner's publishing house in Leipzig, did not go beyond the first three years. Since Rösch also had a musical disposition, in 1886 he was additionally asked to publish the publication Sang und Klang im Sachsenlande , which saw itself as a collection of Saxon folk songs. This publication appeared a year later in the publishing house of Rengerschen Buchhandlung Gebhardt & Wilisch in Leipzig.
