Roses 2021, known primarily as Roses Unlocked, was YUSU's answer to hosting a Roses in lockdown conditions. Whilst this year was technically hosted by York, no Lancaster teams travelled to York to compete. Instead, teams competed separately - Lancaster teams in Lancaster and York teams in York. This competition took two forms. For those sports which compete against each other whilst not being in the same space - such as swimming, darts, running, etc - those sports went ahead as usual. For team sports, they instead were able to compete in a pentathlon to win points for their University.

YSTV and LA1's coverage of Roses Unlocked focused on those sports which were able to go ahead. They were timetabled to occur simultaneously at both universities. So YSTV would film the portion of the event in York, LA1 the portion of the event in Lancaster, and then these two separate feeds would be mixed into one final output which was streamed out to Roses Live.

Due to covid restrictions, the only way it was possible to view any of Roses Unlocked as a spectator was through YSTV and LA1's joint coverage. People could either watch at home on Roses Live or at one of the outdoor bars in Lancaster or York. The options at York were the outdoor area added to Glasshouse on East Campus, the Forest (a temporary outdoor bar open only in 2020/21 on Vanbrugh Bowl) or the Lakeside Tap (another temporary bar opened on Gregg's Place opened for Spring and Summer Terms of 2021).
