Rosea Lavender — Pink Without Trying Too Hard

Most people expect lavender to be purple, and most of the time it is. Rosea is an exception that proves it does not have to be. The flowers are a soft, pale pink — closer to old rose than to anything else — and they sit above green calyces that give the whole spike a fresher, lighter look than purple varieties. It is still unmistakably lavender: the shape, the scent, the silver-grey foliage, the bees. But the colour shifts the mood of a border from Mediterranean to cottage garden in a way that no amount of purple can.

As a plant, Rosea behaves like any other English lavender. It is fully hardy, wants sun, needs drainage, flowers in summer, and clips very well. The foliage is a shade greener than Hidcote's silvery grey, which is subtle but noticeable when you plant them side by side — and planting them side by side is exactly what a lot of people do. A hedge alternating Rosea and Hidcote, pale pink then deep purple, is one of the easiest and best-looking low hedges you can make. The flowers are smaller than Hidcote's and Mrs Ashridge - who makes the lavender bags and has a nose like a bloodhound - does not think the pink smells as strong.

An Heirloom English Lavender

Rosea has been in cultivation since at least the 1930s — the earliest references date it to before 1937. You will sometimes see it listed as 'Jean Davis' in North American nurseries, which appears to be the same cultivar under a different name. It has no dramatic origin story, no famous garden attached to it, and no breeder's name to drop. It is simply a pink sport of English lavender that has been quietly growing in gardens for the best part of a century. That kind of persistence says more about a plant than any marketing campaign.

Planting Companions

The obvious combination is with Hidcote — alternating pink and purple for a two-tone hedge. This works at three plants per metre for each variety, planted alternately (so six plants per metre in total, two rows or a single alternating line). Beyond that, Rosea's softer colour sits well with other pastel plants: white roses, hardy geraniums, and pale catmint. For a pink-themed border, pair it with old shrub roses and rosemary — the blue rosemary flowers in spring, the pink lavender in summer. For an all-lavender combination with white, try it alongside Arctic Snow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Rosea and Hidcote lavender?

Colour, mainly. Rosea is pale pink, Hidcote is deep purple-blue — they are the two ends of the English lavender colour range. Rosea is slightly taller (50–70cm vs 45–60cm) and its foliage is a shade greener. In terms of hardiness, flowering time, and general behaviour, they are very similar although Rosea's flowers are smaller. Plenty of people plant them together for a two-tone hedge, which is probably the best use for pink lavender.

Is Rosea lavender good for cooking?

In terms of taste, it is as good as any other English lavender, and the paler flowers look great if they are used as a garnish on biscuits, cakes and ice cream. For cooking, we would also recommend Munstead, which has the same culinary qualities in a more compact plant.

Does Rosea lavender come in a mixed pack?

We sell a mixed English lavender hedge pack that includes varieties like Hidcote, Loddon Pink and Arctic Snow. Rosea is not currently in that pack, but you can of course buy it separately and create your own combination.

Can I grow Rosea lavender in a pot?

Certainly. At 50–70cm, Rosea is well within the size range that does well in containers. A pot 30cm across with gritty, free-draining compost is all it needs. The pink flowers work beautifully on a sunny doorstep or terrace. More detail in our lavender growing guide.

When does Rosea lavender flower?

June to August, roughly the same window as Munstead and a little earlier than Hidcote. In a warm year, the first flowers can open in late May. If you cut the spent spikes promptly, you may get a smaller second flush later in summer.

My Hero pup is super happy with it
Color: Large - Billy the Beast Monster
I was super excited to order this and had waited some time to do so. I wanted Big Billy The Beast Monster in large Green, he’s an awesome looking guy. My Golden Retriever was all over me while I was up packaging Him and his tail was in helicopter mode. He was so excited to have it and carried it around the house everywhere we went, he’s laying on me with his head in my lap and Billy’s right next to him. Reason for buying it? Well he loves plushies but there are not many available out there that can stand up to this 80 pound chew monster so I have to keep him on harder stuff, 2 of which are the cheapest toy skull and crosses in orange and blue from a cheap outlet site but he loves them. Orange was first then when we pulled out the blue one he had a aha moment. Now with Billy he was on a whole new level of excitement, I’ve never seen him this excited over a toy, he can’t stop carrying it with him everywhere and showing it off to the other pups I have, there’s no growling or resource guarding but he definitely won’t want to share and that’s of because I always take away any plushies that he gets to because he is serious about chewing. This being made with Kevlar gave me hopes of longevity but he had the ears and the end of 1 hand chewed off in under 2 hours, am I disappointed…yea a little but he has gotten so much joy out of it that it’s made me really happy to have bought it anyway, see he’s my Service Dog so he spends a lot of time being so serious and working that he needs any outlet for spending energy possible and he’s so happy with it that it makes me happy. As I’m writing this he’s asleep with his head in my lap and Billy right next to him looking very tired and happy and that my friends is worth all the beans in the world.

Great except for one small flaw
Color: Regular - Beak, Color: Regular - Beak
Our dog likes to get at the juicy innards of every toy we buy him. We tried this one as it promised to be "bullet proof". It lasted about a week which in fairness is 6.5 days longer than most of the toys we buy last. He ripped off the wings which was to be expected and not an issue. It took him another 6 days to finally locate a weak point and break in. It appears that the tag is not made of kevlar but merely sewed on. I guess it would be better if they had just sewed it on top but they made it part of the overall structural integrity. This provided a small area of weakness which our dog located and proceeded to exploit. It's like having the death star but installing a small thermal exhaust port that allows for access to the very core of the station. Makes little sense. Overall I am pleased with the overall sturdiness but in the end this toy had a small design flaw that my dog was able to locate and exploit in his neverending quest to gain access to and eat polyester fiber stuffing

STRONG AS A MONSTER (albeit a cute one)
Color: Large - Billy the Beast Monster, Color: Large - Billy the Beast Monster
My aggressive chewer ate the adorable monster's ear off on the first day, but who cares? The body of the monster has been indestructible so far (one week). My 7 month old pup cbews it for a good 10-15 minutes at a time several times per day. Great quality product and outlasting all the other toys I bought (which she destroyed in 10 minutes - even the ones rated "Level 4 toughness" from Walmart. I think it's hilarious in my photo that the monster's expression perfectly shows his disappointment about missing an ear, LOL.

King has met his match.
Color: Large - Billy the Beast Monster
I received my dog's toy this evening when I place the toy on the ground my dog King went crazy. He is a one-year-old Pitbull and love to tackle any toy he believes he can't take down, but Mr King has met his match with this toy. He was using all of his bite force to demolish the toy but the toy actually has worn him out. He ran around my yard for about 30 minutes with the toy in his mouth producing the squeaking sound from the toy as well. Hold up the toy is totally filthy with dirt almost covering the entire green and yellow belly of the toy. I have brought king mini toys in the last couple of months and this is the best toy that holds up to his energy level. I tried to retrieve the toy and place it in his dog house because it is far beyond his bedtime, but he wanted to play catch me if You can with my new toy. This is a great toy for those big energetic dogs that love to take their aggression out on maybe some furniture or perhaps that favorite shoe you do not want them to chew on. I am totally sold on this toy I brought from the seller who placed the items on the Amazon site. I plan on purchasing a another toy from the buyer to keep King energy at a low level if I can. I just checked on my dog and he actually has taken the toy with him inside of his dog house and now the toy is snugged under his left paw. I'm one of those smart owners I'm not going to even try to take it from him tonight but hopefully in the next week I can sneak it from him and it may be perhaps wash it. I did this item AA Plus
