The two sides lived up to their billing in a clash for the ages, Jackson Barling crossing to put the hosts in front before Steffan James converted a Luke Mehson effort to nudge Park in front.
Lloyd Hayes converted a Morgan Veness score before Rosslyn replied through Arthur Ellis and James, only for Harry Newborn’s try to make it 17-14 to Roth at the break.
They pulled clear after Hayes landed following Travis Gordon’s bonus-point effort, only for the visitors to cut the gap to three via Ewan Fenley and James.
A Hayes penalty extended the lead again, and ultimately proved decisive as Fenley’s second was not added to at the death.
Club nil county rivals, Plymouth bounce back
Blackheath produced a statement 40-0 Kent derby win at home to Tonbridge Juddians.

A rollicking finish from Plymouth Albion ended with the hosts hammering Dings Crusaders 64-17.
The visitors made a dream start as Lewis O’Grady converted a Max Rivers try, Plymouth replying with two of their own through Bobby Wigginton and Archie Hill along with the boot of Frankie Dart.
Matt Bowler went over for Crusaders to cut the gap, but it was 19-12 at the interval after Harry Wilkinson touched down.
Dings drew first blood early in the second period as Sol O’Brien-Taufa crossed, but it was one-way traffic from there as Dan Pullinger, Wigginton, Jack Oulton, Oscar Beckerleg, Angus Hodges, Harry Legg and Shea Cornish all went over, Dart’s boot adding 10 more points for a final personal haul of 14.
Dogs continue to bark, Tykes get first win
Sale made it four wins on the spin with a dominant 43-12 home triumph versus Bishop’s Stortford.
