Roselia evolves from Budew when leveled up with high friendship during the daytime and then evolves into Roserade when exposed to a Shiny Stone. Its natural habitat includes grasslands and forests, where it can often be found basking in sunlight, absorbing nutrients to maintain the vibrancy of its floral hands. Roselia's diet primarily consists of mineral-rich water and sunlight, which it converts into energy. In the games, Roselia is often encountered as a mid-game Grass-type, offering a balance of offensive and defensive capabilities. In the anime, Roselia is frequently depicted as a Pokémon favored by Coordinators due to its beauty and graceful movements in Contests. Its cultural significance lies in its dual nature of beauty and danger, reflecting the complex relationship between humans and nature. It symbolizes growth, elegance, and the hidden perils that can lurk within beauty.
