Why is it feminine?
Rosa is feminine because it descends from Latin "rosa" (the flower), which was feminine in the first declension (nominative singular -a ending), and Italian retained the feminine gender of words ending in -a from this Latin class. The Latin word itself was borrowed from Greek "rhodon," but the gender assignment follows the regular Romance language pattern where first declension nouns became feminine.
