223 Rosa



223 Rosa is a large Main belt asteroid. It is classified as a combination of C-type and P-type asteroids, so it is probably composed of carbonates rich in water ice. It is also a member of the Themis asteroid family.

It was discovered by Johann Palisa on March 9, 1882 in Vienna.

Origin of the name is not known.
