Abstract
We discuss the possibilities of stellar X-ray astronomy using the the next generation of X-ray telescopes onboard ROSAT. ROSAT will perform both an all sky survey at X-ray and XUV wavelengths exceeding the sensitivity of previous all sky surveys by orders of magnitude as well as pointed observations of specific targets. Open key problems in stellar X-ray astronomy are identified and possible solutions are sketched out as they might be obtained by ROSAT.
