- During his corps' passage across Habsburg territory, Rosenberg kept strict discipline among his soldiers while ensuring that his hosts kept up their end of the bargain with regard to providing his men with food and living quarters.
- Rosenberg was remembered as being highly professional and concerned with the welfare of his men, but aloof in his dealings with the rank and file.
- In his first meeting with the new army commander he did not make a good impression on Alexander Suvorov.
