Information
Recording
The album was recorded in almost three months in the El Cortijo Studio in Spain, and the Teldex Studio in Germany. In an interview Till mentioned, that the work on the album was rushed and they didn't have time to really think about the songs.[1] For the album the band worked with songs, that were left over from the recordings to the previous album, Reise, Reise. Those songs were Rosenrot[2][3][4][5], Wo bist du[2][6][7], Mann gegen Mann[2], Zerstören[2], Ein Lied[2], Feuer und Wasser[2][3] and Hilf mir[3]. All seven songs from the previous album session were left as they were.[8] For the new recorded songs, the band re-worked a few demos, which turned into Benzin, Spring, Stirb nicht vor mir and Te quiero puta!.
Before the album was called Rosenrot, the band had the album titles Reise, Reise Vol. 2 and Reise, weiter, Reise in mind.[1] To the press it was announced as Reise, Reise II.[9]
On 5 September 2005, the band held a press event in Paris. Different journalists were invited and took a sightseeing tour in a specially decorated double decker bus. In that bus everyone got a sealed CD player with nine new songs from the album. Those songs were Benzin, Spring, Rosenrot, Zerstören, Mann gegen Mann, Feuer und Wasser, Wo bist du, Te quiero puta! and Ein Lied.[1] The bus drove from the Place de la Bastille to the Seine bank from Paris. There was a ship, on which the journalists were able to interview all band members, with the exception of Flake, who suffered from Mumps.[10] Flake is also not present on the promotional photos for the album. He was replaced by his brother. This is also why he is never looking directly at the camera.

Other songs
During the recordings the band reworked and released a few demo songs on the album. The following is a list of the known songs:
- Student (reworked into Benzin)
- Spring Jungle + Spring weiter (reworked into Spring)
- Ich bin (reworked into Te quiero puta!)
- Hin und her (was very likely reworked into Vergiss uns nicht)
Promotion
The album was promoted with a Flashcard, that featured five song snippets. Those same snippets were also released as a promotional CD. Additionally a fade-out promotional CD was sent out.
Cover
The complete artwork for the album is the same as for the Japanese edition of the previous album Reise, Reise. The only exception is the cover, on which the ship now has the name "Rosenrot" instead of the Rammstein logo, and two people are standing to the right of it, which were edited out from the original photo before.
