Dimension of the zero weight space

Let $\rho$ be the half sum of the positive roots (also the sum of fundmental weights) for $SL_n(\mathbb C)$. Then $2ρ$ is in the root lattice. Then what is the dimension of the zero weight space for the irreducible representation $V_{2\rho}$ ? What do the weights look like in this case ?
