Rosie

Rosie is cute for a little girl but I'd hope she could become Rose as an adult.
I don't much like any of your three names, though Rosalind would be the best I suppose. Rosalia has pronunciation issues - roSAHlia or roZAYlia - and is longer and more cumbersome than Rosalie, which is bland but not bad. Rosanna is another name that could be shorter; I prefer Rosanne though I'd never use it.
I like Rosamond very much and Rosemary well enough to consider using. I prefer them both in their full form.

Rosie is really cute.
i'd pick Rosalind out of those three. the other two sound too..generic i guess? not the names themselves, but the sounds they're made up of. Rosalind also just roles off the tongue best, and i like how it an extra meaning besides "rose" (and how the rose meaning is "beautiful rose" and not an elaboration of rose/a translation of it. doesn't matter much, it's just nice to me).
i'd probably pick Rosalba as a full name for Rosie, because i like the contrast of sounds. or just plain Rose, which you can't go wrong with (though i'm not sure i'd use it myself, just because i've heard it sooo much, especially on fictional characters, that it's lost a little charm to me, as great a name as it is).
Rosie actually can work fine on its own imo. it's cutesy sure, but not in an over the top way.
