The Spaniard, who enjoyed a first-round bye, came through 6-0 2-6 6-3 in one hour and 27 minutes at the Palais Omnisports
Ferrer preyed on the inconsistency of Rosol's game, hitting 18 fewer unforced errors than his Czech opponent.
He will face French opposition in the third round, either 15th seed Gilles Simon or Nicolas Mahut.
John Isner, a semi-finalist two years ago, will take on second seed Novak Djokovic in the third round after a 7-6 (7/3) 4-6 6-3 success against Polish qualifier Michal Przysiezny.
Isner, the 11th seed, fired 27 aces and 47 winners over the course of three tight sets lasting two minutes short of two hours.
Later on Wednesday, Roger Federer can confirm his place at the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals in London for the 12th season in a row if he beats South Africa's Kevin Anderson.
