Map showing the electoral division of Rosevears, as of the 2017 periodic review.

It is named after the town of Rosevears which is located on the river banks near Exeter.

The electoral boundaries include the towns of Exeter, Rowella, Sidmouth, Legana, Bridgenorth, Gravelly Beach, Greens Beach, Beaconsfield, Glengarry, Beauty point and Clarence point.

Localities in the West Tamar region that were once a part of the Division of Roland were also added into Rosevears.

This election had a low voter turnout, despite voting being compulsory, which was attributed to confusion as to which electorate people were located in.
