At the 1976 East German national championships, Rohs teamed up with Vanadies Lippold and they came second in the coxless pair; it was, however, the year that women's rowing was introduced at the Olympic Games and the Olympic team members did not participate at the national championships.[1] At the 1977 East German national championships, Rohs won the coxed four title alongside Bärbel Bendiks, Katja Rothe, Ilona Richter, and coxswain Marina Wilke.[2] That team went to the 1977 World Rowing Championships on the Bosbaan rowing lake in the Netherlands where they became world champions.[3] In February 1978, she was given two sports awards: Master of Sport and Honored Master of Sports.[4] Rohs travelled as a reserve to the 1978 World Rowing Championships in New Zealand but did not compete.[5]
