| ===Physiology===
| | Roselia is a small, light green bipedal Pokémon. It has three thorns on top of its head, and it has black eyes with long eyelashes. Visible from the back is a small stretch of yellow coloration around its neck much like a collar. There are leaves extending from its shoulders like epaulettes. It has a leaf skirt with a yellow stripe running down the front. A male will have a shorter skirt than a female. It holds a rose in each of its hands, a red one in its right and a blue one in its left. However, it is said that it will occasionally have unusually colored flower. |
| Roserade’s appearance incorporates features of roses and decorative dress, such as masquerade. The three spikes that Roserade had on its head when it was a {{p|Roselia}} have been replaced with "hair" made of white rose petals. Roserade no longer has a leafy skirt, but a leafy, green cape instead, with a yellow, collar-like bangle on its neck. The ‘cape’ pattern reaches toward the back of Roserade’s head, in spiky, sepal-like extensions on the 'hair'. This Pokémon species has a dark-green ‘mask’ pattern over their eyes, which possess red irises and have yellow eyelids. The lower portion of its face is light green, and the single roses that Roserade had in its hands when it was a Roselia have now become bouquets of roses; red for its right hand and blue for its left. Its limbs and underside, which has a thin vertical stripe running down it, are light green, and its upper chest, chin, and the upper portion of its face are dark green in coloration. Its feet end with yellow tips.

| ====Gender differences====
| | Roselia's aroma brings serenity, but the thorns on its head contain a vicious poison. The more healthy it is, the more pleasant its flowers' aroma. It can lull opponents to sleep using its former [[signature move]], {{m|GrassWhistle}}. It shoots sharp thorns at anything that tries to steal its flowers, and uses different poisons in each hand when it attacks. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy areas}} where it drinks nutrient-rich spring water. |
| A female has a longer "cape" than a male.

| ===Special abilities===
| |
| Roserade can generally use any attacks that its pre-evolutions can use, but with greater strength. Roserade is able to learn how to perform {{m|Weather Ball}}. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Roserade can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}. Its hands contain toxins, different ones for each limb, that allow it to use {{m|Poison Sting}}. Roserade, like many other {{type|Grass}}s, can utilize the [[weather conditions#Intense sunlight|sun]] in order to use moves like {{m|Synthesis}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}. Roserade naturally learn {{m|Sweet Scent}}, which may account for how it attracts insects. Roserade are also capable of launching many moves to inflict status problems on its foes. Roserade are also capable of many other Grass-type moves such as {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}. Roserade are able to heal themselves through moves such as {{m|Mega Drain}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}.
| |
| | |
| ===Behavior===
| |
| Roserade tend to have quite a deceptive nature. It lures its prey to it with a {{m|Sweet Scent|pleasant aroma}} and kills the victim with thorny vines hidden within the bouquets it holds in its arms, or by spewing poison. The more toxic it is, the sweeter its aroma. Roserade tend to stay motionless with its arms crossed, which allows its prey to come to it.
| |
| | |
| ===Habitat===
| |
| Roserade live in fields and woods with temperate climates.
| |
| | |
| ===Diet===
| |
| {{main|Pokémon food}} | |
| Since Roserade is a plant-based Pokémon, it also nourishes itself through {{wp|photosynthesis}}. Several of Roserade's Pokédex entries state that it is predatory, attracting prey using its flowers.
