Rose Crypt
Rose Crypt provides users with a simplistic application that can be used for encrypting files in your computer using a custom passphrase.
With its minimal design, Rose Crypt can be used by both advanced and beginner users. Once the encryption process is finished, you can access the newly
created file from the location you previously selected.

Do you know if there is a white paper on which crypto is applied and how? The available information seems to be minimal. Which libraries are used, which algorithms? How about peer reviews? In general, I would be cautious about using any new crypto software which has not been peer reviewed and stood some sort of test in time. I could not find much information via web search either.
@alimiracle: Hmm...it looks non-free to me. You claim that the app is under GPLv3, however, there's no source code available for download (RoseCrypt.res is just a binary file).
The source is in the parent folder. ;)
I've already checked that before, but was unable to see any source code inside the archive. The file was since then updated, containing a new Windows binary executable, the source code, which is provided by the "unit1.pas" file (it seems that I overlooked this), and the noted RoseCrypt.res file's now gone.

algorithms:
aes
gnu/linux executable
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rosecrypt/files/rosecrypt1.2/gnu%20linux/
What AES mode does it use? Why would one use it instead of a more
common program using a more popular encryption library?
aes 128 bits
CBC mode - Cipher Block Chaining
Block Size 128 bits
