Yes, very nice.
But the problem (if White wants more than a draw) in the Rosentreter is still 6...Nc6.

Interesting article on chesscafe by Hans Ree:
http://www.chesscafe.com/hans/hans163.htm
The focus is on is two lines:
1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.d4 (Rosentreter Gambit) g4 5.Bxf4 gxf3 6.Qxf3 d6 7.Nc3 Nc6 8.O-O-O h5 9.Qf2 Bg4 10.Rd2 Bh6 11.h3 Bd7 12.e5 Bf5 (Can - Sargissian) and now 13.exd6 cxd6 14.Nb5 would have given Black big problems.

And in the latest issue of Kaissiber January-March 2010, Michiel Wind presents a spectacular novelty:
1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Nc3 c6 5.d4 Bb4 6.Ne2 Nxe4 7.O-O Nxc3 8.bxc3 Be7 and now 9.Bxf7+ Kxf7 10.Nxf4 winning, or even 8.Bxf7+ to avoid 8...d5.
