Narrative:

A row/rop alert triggered in the cockpit during landing roll-out. Stable approach; stable landing configuration. First officer pilot flying; I was caught slightly off guard when touching down. While in the flare the wheels of aircraft seemed to just hover slightly above the tarmac; not making contact. Nothing seemed out of ordinary until I realized aircraft actually touched down at the end of the landing zone paint strips. At this time I began normal landing procedures...pulling thrust to reverse while applying brake pressure; it was right in this moment of thinking that was a pretty nice landing; when row/rop alert came alive. I should have cobbed throttles and [gone] around however; I believed that the thrust reversers were already being deployed therefore I jammed the brakes and continued stopping.everything about this flight was so routinely normal that nothing should have occurred. In reflection though; I find that more prudence should be placed on how we fly our differing fleets. [At my base] we tend to fly more A319's. Therefore it would be best if we focus a touch more on landing flaps full; versus config 3. In the 319; ref speeds are routinely low....low speeds; low weights etc. I believe had I not been a robot in thinking just use config 3 cause that's what we always do; focus on approach speeds/available landing distance for the A321. This flight for example had a vref of 150. Had I used full flaps I think there would have been no issue; even with the tail wind landing.

Title: A321 First Officer experienced a ROPS alert during a flaps 3 landing that floated to the end of the touchdown zone. Believing the reversers are already deployed; the landing was continued and heavy braking used to stop.
