After the communist takeover he became one of the martyrs of the regime; books and novels about it appeared. In Békéscsaba, from 1948 to 2008 the name of the Andrássy Gyula Grammar School and College was the Rózsa Ferenc Grammar School, but it was renamed in the summer of 2008 by the local government of the county seat of Viharsarki. For a long time, many other Hungarian settlements still had public spaces named after Ferenc Rózsa, but the Hungarian Academy of Sciences issued a resolution stating that it was not recommended to name the public spaces after it.
