Rosalnice ( or ; ) is a village on the left bank of the Kolpa River, east of the town of Metlika in the White Carniola area of southeastern Slovenia, on the border with Croatia. The railway line from Novo Mesto to Karlovac runs through the settlement before it crosses the Kolpa River into Croatia. The entire area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.
==Name== Rosalnice was attested in historical sources as Rosendorf in 1490 (and as Rosaniz and Rasaniz in 1610). The origin of the name is uncertain. It may be derived from *rosále 'Pentecost', or less likely from Latin rosalia 'rose garden'.
