The strong interplay of fundamental order parameters in complex oxides is known to give rise to exotic physical phenomena. The $4d$ transition-metal oxide $\mathrm{SrRh}{\mathrm{O}}_3$ has generated much interest, but advances have been hindered by difficulties in preparing single-crystalline phases. Here we epitaxially stabilize high-quality single-crystalline $\mathrm{SrRh}{\mathrm{O}}_3$ films and investigate their structural, electronic, and magnetic properties. We determine that their properties significantly differ from the paramagnetic metallic ground state that governs bulk samples and are strongly related to rotations of $\mathrm{Rh}{\mathrm{O}}_6$ octahedra.
