The diffractive photoproduction of {rho} mesons with large momentum transfer, ep {yields} e{rho}Y, is studied at HERA in the kinematic range Q2 < 0.01 GeV2, 75 < W < 95 GeV, 1.5 < |t| < 10.0 GeV2 and MY < 5 GeV. The t dependence of the cross section is measured, as well as the spin density matrix elements. All results are compared to BFKL model predictions.
