She made one voyage to Sincapore and possibly one to Bengal, both under a licence from the British East India Company (EIC).

Although LR continued to show Rosella with trade London–Calcutta for some more years, there is no confirmation in the listing of licensed ships of any voyages after 1826.

On her way back from Bengal, Rosella had struck a hidden rock some two miles of the Bolt Head.

One source, with continuous ownership data, reports that Rosella was lost on 24 August 1860 while carrying coal from South Shields to Rotterdam.

It states that she sank off Egmond aan Zee, in the North Sea nine miles from Rotterdam.
