Susz [suʂ] (German: Rosenberg in Westpreußen) is a town in Iława County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland, with 5,600 inhabitants (2004).
Throughout its history Rosenberg, Prussia (German to English translation: rose hill) carried a rose in its coat of arms.
According to the Treaty of Versailles after World War I the inhabitants were asked whether they wanted to remain in Germany or join the new Second Polish Republic by the Warmia and Masuria plebiscite on July 11, 1920. 33,498 voted to remain in Germany, 1.073 voted for Poland. Based on that result Rosenberg was included in the Regierungsbezirk Marienwerder within East Prussia.
After World War II all German inhabitants were expelled.
