Pion-rho-exchange nucleon-nucleon potentials are derived for one or two {Delta} isobars in the intermediate states. As in the companion work on two-pion exchange, strong dynamical pair suppression is assumed. At the {ital NN}{pi}, {rho} and {ital N}{Delta}{pi}, {rho} vertices Gaussian form factors are incorporated into the relativistic two-body framework by using a dispersion representation for the {pi}- and {rho}-exchange amplitudes. The Fourier transformations are performed using factorization techniques for the energy denominators, taking into account the mass difference between the nucleon and the {Delta} isobar. The potentials are calculated in the adiabatic approximation of all planar and crossed three-dimensional momentum-space {pi}{rho} diagrams. We also give the contributions of the {pi}{rho} iteration, which can be subtracted or not, depending on whether one performs a coupled-channel calculation for, e.g., the {ital NN}, {ital N}{Delta} system, or a single {ital NN}-channel calculation.
