Rösch turned professional in 1996 and spent several years in mostly ITF Women's Circuit events before enjoying her best year in 2002, reaching the top 100 and making her Grand Slam debut at Wimbledon. She also won against Elena Dementieva three times during that season, with Dementieva being ranked in the top 20 in all three of the meetings. She went on to play in all four Grand Slams during 2003 but failed to advance past the first round in any of them.
