A soprano known for her effervescent personality, Rowland was a standout in musical comedy productions from 1904, specializing in "story songs". She was best known for her rendition of the song "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag", which she introduced in 1915.

After marrying Tearle, she moved to Los Angeles, where they were a prominent couple. After his death in 1938, she made a career playing small parts in motion pictures, acting well into the 1950s.

She died on August 8, 1971, in Los Angeles.
