Hello!
Could anybody help me to transcribe (not translate) the name Rosa into Hebrew script?
Thanks in advance.

רוזָה with a dot above the ו
or
רוזה if it is for a speaker of Modern Hebrew who knows the name.

Gamma's script assumes a "z" pronunciation of the s in Rosa. Ro-zah. If it's a voiceless s sound, you'll need a samech or sin in place of the zayin. Sorry, I don't know how to get hebrew chars on the interwebs.

if it's a soft "s", it would be רוסה rather than רוזה. But as most Rosas I've heard of are with the "z" sounds, i suspect the latter is correct.
