Rosenberg is one of Sweden's most established folkmusik singers. She has great variety of vocal expression, also in older folk techniques such as [[kulning]] (cattle calling), in Baroque, jazz and contemporary art music.<ref name="Plantenga2013"/> She has been a pioneer in rediscovering old folk songs and using them in new artistic context. Rosenberg has often collaborated with composer [[Karin Rehnqvist]] and singer [[Lena Willemark]].<ref name="Rehnqvist" /> Rehnquist appreciated the singers' "command both of Swedish folk music and of complicated notation".<ref name="Rehnqvist" /> She composed for them in 1989 her second major vocal composition, '' Puksånger & lockrop'' (Timpanum Songs – Herding Calls) for two singers and percussion, in which kulning "begins the piece and sets the atmosphere for the entire work", followed by a section based on "condescending traditional Finnish proverbs" about women, described as "highly effective satiric attacks on mysogyny. This section is followed immediately by a kulning section, which represents a rebellion against the previous ideas".<ref name="WhiteChristensen2002" /> The singers performed the piece first at the 1989 Falun Folk Music Festival,<ref name="Rehnqvist" /> also at the [[International Society for Contemporary Music|ISCM]] Festival in Stockholm in 1994.<ref name="dvm" /> They were soloists in recordings of Rehnqvist's works on CDs, such as in 1996 ''Davids nimm'' with the [[Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra]], and in 1999 ''Solsången'' with the Sundsvall Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Niklas Willén.<ref name="mugi" /> Rosenberg has worked with directors such as [[Peter Oskarson]] and {{ill|sv|Leif Stinnerbom}}.

In Sweden, she has collaborated with the composer [[Karin Rehnqvist]] and premiered several works written directly for Rosenberg such as "Puksånger - Lockrop" (1989), "Hetluft" (1993) "Rädda mig ur dyn" (1997), "Så går en dag" (2000), and with directors such as Peter Oskarsson (Den Stora Vreden, 1988–1990) and Leif Stinnerbom  ("Ljuset" 1996). Outside Sweden, she collaborated with [[Quincy Jones]] and [[Clark Terry]] (Sonic Convergence 2001) and in Japan with [[Ryuichi Sakamoto]]  (L I F E 2000).{{Citation needed|date=February 2023}}

She has released numerous records since the 1980s beginning with both groups and as a soloist. The album ''R7'' of four singers with fiddle, viola and cello was reviewed as "sometimes ethereal, sometimes traditional, but always powerful and compelling".<ref name="Phares" />
