They were members of the Scottish Junior Football Association's Angus League and Tayside Region League, before competing in the new East Region which they, along with all other Tayside Junior clubs became a part in 2002. Playing second fiddle to the senior Montrose, success has been sparse during their years of existence however in recent years the success has been beyond a club of its size.

The club applied to move from the SJFA East Region to join the North Region, and this was accepted for the beginning of season 2016–17.[2]

Roselea traditionally play their home games at Broomfield Park, a relatively undeveloped facility in the north of the town which has room for around 1,800 spectators. For the 2018–19 season, they have reached an agreement to share Montrose F.C.'s Links Park stadium, with a view towards a longer-term arrangement.[3]
