I find that the use case editor draws very pretty DFDs and you 
can use the actors to represent external systems on a context 
diagram quite nicely.

Rose does not allow you to you to attach STDs to use case 
diagrams, which is a pity, but I'm sure you could fiddle this 
by perhaps using a use case to represent a DFD and attching the 
STD to that.

BTW, you don't say it explicitely, but I'm assuming that your 
legacy code is structured.
