Rosa was first mentioned in documents from 803 to 817. It was related to a donation to the Fulda monastery . The place was issued in 1317 as a fiefdom to Bertold von Wildsprechtroda . In 1350 Rosa was sold to Johann Schenk von Lichtenberg. As a parish, the place went to Wetzel von Stein in 1390.
It is assumed that the Rosa church emerged from a fortified fortification or from a manor house. In 1456 a bower is mentioned that is said to have stood next to the church. The square church tower demonstrates a defensive character. The loopholes in the cemetery wall also suggest it.
Rosa was affected by the persecution of witches : Margaretha, wife of the shepherd Hans von Königshofen, was executed in a witch trial in 1597 .
The place in the Amt Sand belonged to the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen since 1680 .
