In the mid-1930s the community had a store and a number of houses; children attended school in nearby Bluntzer or Riverside. La Rosa was included on a list of communities by the Texas Department of Transportation in 1985. The community is unincorporated, but listed a population of 20 in the 1990 and 2002 Texas Almanac.
