[[File:Drew Roselia.png|thumb|left|220px|As a Roselia]]

As a Roselia, Roserade first appeared in ''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power!]]'' when Drew challenged {{an|May}} to a [[Contest Battle]] to determine who would get some [[Bluk Berry|Bluk Berries]]. It battled against [[May's Beautifly]], managing to stop its {{m|Tackle}} with {{m|Petal Dance}} and {{status|Paralysis|paralyze}} it with {{m|Stun Spore}}. However, Roselia's {{m|Magical Leaf}} was overcome by {{m|Silver Wind}} and it took damage, just as {{TRT}} interrupted the match by stealing the [[Berry|Berries]]. It then destroyed their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] with {{m|Solar Beam}} and combined the attack with {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} to send them blasting off, allowing {{TP|May|Torchic}} to retrieve the Berries. Roselia later sat and watched the fireworks that were made with the Bluk Berries.

Roselia reappeared at the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] in ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'' when  Drew was congratulating May for getting her fifth [[Ribbon]]. Later, in the preliminary Appeals Round, Roselia scored Drew a 95, sending him through to the first stage. In the [[AG122|following episode]], Roselia was seen being groomed by its Trainer along with Masquerain. Finally, in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', Roselia was chosen to battle alongside {{DL|Drew|Flygon}} in the third round against [[May's Combusken]] and {{TP|May|Skitty}}. Roselia started the battle with Petal Dance, but Skitty's {{m|Assist}} became {{m|Fire Spin}} and incinerated the move. When Flygon stole the attention and left their opponents open to attack, Roselia launched a Solar Beam along with Flygon's Flamethrower, which was amazingly stopped by Combusken's Fire Spin. Roselia dodged Skitty's next {{m|Blizzard}} attack and jumped on Flygon. When Combusken was launched up to Roselia and its partner, it launched a Magical Leaf defense, though it was blown away by Blizzard. Confronted by Combusken's Quick Attack and Skitty's Tackle, Roselia paralyzed them both with Stun Spore, escaping the hits and allowing Flygon to knock them out. After the final match and during the after party, Roselia was seen training with Masquerain.

It appeared alongside its Trainer in ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]'', enjoying some rest and relaxation on [[Chrysanthemum Island]].

Roselia made its final {{series2|Advanced Generation}} appearance in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]''. It was used in a Double Contest Battle alongside Drew's Butterfree against [[May's Combusken]] and her {{TP|May|Beautifly}}. With a {{m|Psychic}} powered Fire Spin heading in their direction, Roselia blasted though it with Petal Dance. Afterwards, Beautifly used the sparks from the Fire Spin in combination with Psychic to attack once again; Roselia defended against them with Magical Leaf, though the attack was burned up. This allowed Combusken to go in for an attack but Butterfree used {{m|Gust}} to send Roselia's flaming Magical Leaf at its opponents. Roselia used Petal Dance which ended up absorbing power from Beautifly's on coming Silver Wind and dealing massive damage to it and Combusken. Combusken, however, broke through with {{m|Overheat}}, though Roselia was shielded by Butterfree's {{m|Protect}}. They then combined Solar Beam and {{m|Psybeam}} to win the battle.

May revealed in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'' that Roselia accompanied Drew to [[Johto]], where it evidently [[Evolution|evolved]], as it was shown as a Roserade in her flashback and appeared watching the finals of the [[Wallace Cup]] with Drew, [[Solidad]] and [[Harley]] in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''.
