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.

If you were looking for a sign to buy this, here it is
Color: A) Small 2.5" Ball
If you are looking for a ball that can stand up next to a heavy, aggressive chewer.. this is a good choice. Our Pitbull literally destroyed any and every toy that she gets with the exception of one kind of kong ball. She tore through the kong Frisbees, any kind of squeaker toy, and the wobble wag giggle ball (she usually always ends up destroying these but it takes a few weeks. Today she beat her record and had her brand new ball destroyed within the first 30 minutes of us taking it out of the box). But, this ball she has not been able to destroy. I'd like to believe that the Kong ball she has and this ball are made of the same material. Because they are the only balls she can't ruin. And it's not because of a lack of trying. We have watched her sit there and chew with a side of her mouth for an hour or more, trying to make some kind of indention or tear in it and it just never happened. She loves to chew this thing, chase this thing, sleep with this thing. I most certainly recommend this ball. If it is I'ah proof then it is most certainly, 100% a durable ball and worth every penny

Chew King Supreme Chew Toy
Color: B) Medium 3" Ball
So far, freaking amazing. This ball is awesome. I have a 90 lb American Bulldog. Like other reviews. Lot of " indestructible balls" lasted minimum time. Not this one. She even took it to bed with her I bought the 3 inch ball, not the 4 inch ball. The 3 inch ball works amazingly for a large Dog. Yes the 4 inch would be better. So in my opinion, either ball would be fine. As others also said. This ball keeps a active Dog busy for hours. Love to play catch. Love frozen peanut butter in it. One last thing. The price is amazing. I don't see needing to buy another, unless it is lost, because this is made to last. We couldn't be happier.

Malinois proof
Color: B) Medium 3" Ball
So far this has held up great. My Malinois who has destroyed nearly every ball I’ve gotten her, this one has lasted over 3 weeks without a dent, compared to some that don’t even last a day lol. Although the medium size is a little too big for her liking she still plays with it. It’s very durable and I like the middle part for engagement as well. I would recommend if you have a dog who destroys every ball possible.

Actually Durable
Color: B) Medium 3" Ball
One of the few "heavy duty" toys that my pittie hasn't destroyed after a couple of weeks. Most of them last two days. She's an absolute beast so I'm confident if she can't destroy it, few dogs can.
