Rogoźnica [ rɔgɔˈʑɲiʦa ] (German: Groß Rosen ) is a village in the municipality of Strzegom ( Striegau ) in the Polish Voivodeship of Lower Silesia .
It is halfway between Strzegom and Jawor ( Jauer ), seven kilometers from both cities.

Groß Rosen belonged to the district of Schweidnitz . In 1933 there were 1,783 inhabitants in the village; In 1939 there were 1,852.
