She began work at an early age to support the family. She owed her sultry looks and passion to her father, an amateur accordionist and pianist of Filipino descent who played in Liverpool nightclubs.At the age of 12, she saw an advert in the local newspaper for juvenile dancers and passed the audition. She took to the stage at that age in a pantomime, and by the time she was 15, was working with the comedian and fellow Merseysider Ted Ray. Soon afterwards she signed up with the Harry Roy Orchestra in London, moving on to work with other bands of the era, including that of Edmundo Ros In 1950, she became the lead female singer with the Ted Heath Band, and by 1954, had achieved enough public acclaim to leave the band and pursue a solo recording career.Roza's "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?", a cover version of Patti Page's original, was the peak of her career. Further covers of "Hey There" and "JIMMY Unknown" gave her small hits in the mid-1950s. Roza disliked her hit single so much that she never performed it live.Roza made three appearances in UK heats for the Eurovision Song Contest selection in 1957, 1959 and 1960. On 14 March 2001, the Liverpool Wall of Fame was inaugurated opposite the Cavern Club on Mathew Street in Liverpool with Roza's presiding at the ceremony.
