Roserade is turning over a new leaf in the RU metagame! With Defense investment, Roserade becomes more resilient versus foes like Golisopod, Flygon, Mimikyu, and Rhyperior. Rocky Helmet allows Roserade to beat Registeel by stalling it with Synthesis while accruing Rocky Helmet chip; it is also useful for punishing uninvested Crobat, and U-turn from Flygon. Grass Knot allows Roserade to deal more damage to Suicune and Metagross. Synthesis allows Roserade to check Electric-types like Xurkitree and Rotom-C long-term. 56 Speed EVs allow Roserade to outspeed Golurk. Roserade finds itself on balance and bulky offense teams alike as a reliable entry hazard setter thanks to its defensive utility and ability to check Electric-types. Roserade has major issues with Crobat, so Steel- and Rock-types like Metagross, Steelix, and Rhyperior make for good partners. Roserade struggles to hit Steel-types like Registeel and Metagross, meaning wallbreakers like Heracross and Bewear are great partners. Roserade also appreciates Knock Off support from Pokemon like Incineroar and Heracross to increase the effectiveness of its Spikes and remove Crobat's Heavy-Duty Boots.

There isn't really focus on the unique parts of the set, ie Rocky Helmet and Physical Defense Investment. Tag me when implemented

Roserade is turning over a new leaf in the RU metagame! Roserade has found itself on balance and offense teams alike as a reliable entry hazard setter thanks to its reliability as a hazard setter, ability to check Electric-types like Xurkitree and Rotom-CRaikou(Raikou runs CM a lot nowadays which can beat rose),(Roserade has done this throughout RU's history, to make more sense of your opening sentence focus on how physically defensive helmet rose is more of a new addition and its advantages. Physical Defense investment lets you soft check Rhyperior and makes Roserade more reslient against Pokemon like Golisopod, Flygon, and Mimikyu. Rocky Helmet and bulk investment means you can live Crobat's Brave Bird and punish it with a lot of recoil, it can also force out Registeel as it gets hurt by attacks which rose can easily heal off.) and its vicious STABs that are able to threaten a wide portion of the tier.(It's not that hard to wall.) Grass Knot allows Roserade to more easily chip resistant Pokemon like Registeel and Crobat.(What? Grass Knot does not do much to either of them. Grass Knot's higher BP is good against, ie Suicune, Steelix, and Metagross.) With Synthesis, its ability to act as a long-term check against the aforementioned Electric-types becomes bettereven stronger(It's not really a great check without.). (IMPORTANT: Mention reliable Crobat answers, ie steel- and rock-types.)Roserade is unable struggles to hurt hit Steel-types like Registeel and Metagross, meaning wallbreaking partners like Heracross and Bewear make for great partners to assist Roserade in these matchups. Roserade also appreciates Knock Off support from Pokemon like Incineroar and Heracross to increase the effectiveness of its Spikes and remove Crobat's Heavy-Duty Boots.(Mention that 56 spe outpaces Jolly Golurk)

Roserade is turning over a new leaf in the RU metagame! Roserade has found itself on balance and bulky offense teams alike as a reliable entry hazard setter thanks to its defensive utilityreliability as a hazard setter, and ability to check Electric-types like Xurkitree and Rotom-C.(You say turning on a new leaf and explain nothing that's really new to Roserade immediately, it'd make more sense to explain the specifics of the helmet set first, then say it's a good fit for spikes bulky offense builds or something.) With investment into Defense, Roserade becomes much more resillient(Typo) versus common Pokemon like Golisopod, Flygon, Mimikyu, and Rhyperior. Rocky Helmet allows Roserade to beat Registeel because it can easily outheal Registeel's attacks and punish it via Rocky Helmet, and is useful for punishing uninvested Crobat, and punish Crobat and Flygon's U-turn. Grass Knot allows Roserade to more easily deal damage to heavy foes like Suicune, Metagross, and Suicune. With Synthesis, its ability to act as a long-term check against the aforementioned Electric-types becomes better. 56 Speed EVs are ran in order to outspeed Golurk. Roserade has major issues with Crobat, so Steel- and Rock-types like Metagross, Steelix, and TyrantrumRhyperior(More relevant) make for good partners. Roserade struggles to hit Steel-types like Registeel and Metagross, meaning wallbreaking partners like Heracross and Bewear make for great partners to assist Roserade in these matchups.

1/1, most of my edits were concerning the length; it should be at an appropriate length now.
