I think it is up to you.

In the periodic calculation, the two rotational mode never really
vanish due to weak interaction with the periodic images of the
molecule.

Even using Gaussian03， which does not use period boundary condition,
the rotational frequency never equals to zero.

There is an example of Hydrogen molecule. You can find it in PW_forum:
