|discussion=<p><i>Sarracenia rosea</i> occurs on the coastal plain in southwestern Georgia (Lee, Randolph, Taylor, and Tift counties), the Florida panhandle (Gadsden County westward), southern Alabama, and southeastern Mississippi (George and Jackson counties). It differs from <i>S. purpurea</i> most obviously in its pink to nearly white petals and shorter scapes; the flowers of <i>S. rosea</i> are larger on average in most respects than those of <i>S. purpurea</i>. Vegetatively, <i>S. rosea</i> pitchers have thicker orifice rims that are more concave, longer setae on the hood, wider hoods, and, often, thinner pitcher walls than those of <i>S. purpurea</i>. Although there is some overlap of pitcher morphology between the two species, the distinctive features and the allopatric distributions warrant recognition of <i>S. rosea</i> as a separate species. A yellow-flowered variant has been named forma luteola (Hanrahan & James M. Miller) Naczi, Case & R. B. Case.</p><!--
--><p><i>Sarracenia rosea</i> is attractive and easy to cultivate. It suffers from habitat loss throughout its range. Specimens apparently have not been collected from Georgia since 1902.</p>
