I like a lot of rose names: Rose, Rosa, Rosalie, Rosamund, Rosaline. The other day I came across Rosella. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. WDYT?

It looks nicknamey to me. It's also irritatingly similar to Rossella, which is much more common.

Roseola

That's all it makes me think of. I'm very picky about my Rose names. The only ones I like aside from plain old Rose are Rosemary and Rosalie.

It's an Australian parrot and brand of rice, so I'd never use it.
I love Rosalind.
Rosina is another Rose name.

It's also a brand of tomato sauce. My favourite brand, in fact, so a no go for me.
