The thing about any mono-type team, as everyone knows, are the common weaknesses. So, if you're going to make one, you need to think of two things:

A) What are the common weaknesses?
B) Can those weaknesses be covered?

So let's look at Grass weaknesses. We have Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug. That's quite a list. Now, let's look at what Grass-types can cover those weaknesses. As soon as I finished reading this post, I immediately thought Cradily. It's neutral to Fire, Poison, and Flying; three out of the five. That leaves Ice and Bug. Roserade's Poison-typing makes it neutral to Bug. That's good, but Roserade isn't exactly bulky. Tropius also covers the Bug weakness, but it also gives you a 4x Ice weakness. Breloom is there too, but that gives you a 4x Flying weakness. Now, for that Ice weakness... Two options here: Abomasnow and Ludicolo. I highly suggest Ludicolo. Abomasnow is only going to hinder your team.

Personally, in the building of this team, I wouldn't go over UU. All of the types that are viable for this team are in UU. I seriously think Cradily is a must for this team. It's bulky and neutralizes 3 out of 5 weaknesses you have. Roserade is UU, but it's been cycling in and out of OU, BL, and UU for some time. You can keep it up there, but you'll probably be better off with a bulky Pokémon since its covering weaknesses. Venusaur is probably going to fill this role the best, but there is also Vileplume. Venusaur is a little more bulky, but Vileplume can help the team with its Aromatherapy. Ludicolo not only covers your Ice weakness, but your Fire weakness as well. As far as dual types go, you have Grass/Bug, Grass/Psychic, Grass/Flying, Grass/Dark, and Grass/Ground left (Leaving out Grass/Fighting because Breloom is OU and Grass/Ice because Abomasnow is going to hurt the team, as mentioned before). Grass/Bug, Grass/Psychic, and Grass/Dark only add to your weaknesses without covering another. As for the other two, there are only two Grass/Flying types (Tropius and Jumpluff) and only one Grass/Ground type (Torterra). Both add a 4x Ice weakness, but cover your Bug weakness more. You already have Tropius up there, so you can use it as the Grass/Flying type. Torterra can give you some physical bulk, and can help you with an interesting secondary theme to the team, if you want to. You can have all four Grass-type starters. Meganium, like Venusaur, is a nice bulky Pokémon, and can be your Aromatherapy user (also known as a Cleric) if you opt not to use Vileplume. Sceptile can go one of three routes: SubSeeder, special attacker, or physical attacker.

Also, be careful to look at your Pokémon's stats to find movesets that are right for them. Parasect is better off using physical attacks, and you have Giga Drain on it (Which isn't a very good move in the first place). Leafeon has Shadow Ball while it's better off using physical moves. Petal Dance is not a very good move. It's basically a weaker Outrage.

Pick out what you like, and then I can help you with movesets.
 
Its pretty good, just be sure to have moves to cover weaknesses. Parasect gets 4x damge to some things, so besides that, good job
 
I would give Roserade SolarBeam and WeatherBall.

With Sunny Day support, WeatherBall's base power doubles to 100 and it becomes Fire-type (great for covering Steels, which otherwise resist Roserade's attacks). WeatherBall's power then increases to 150, since Fire-type moves are boosted 50% during Sunlight-- that's a nice attack. And of course, SolarBeam requires no charge turn.

Sometimes 5x damage, if it has Dry Skin!
 
I had a good sceptile, myabe a sceptile instead of parasect. Mine was:

Holding Leftovers
Leaf Blade
Substatute
GrassWhistle
Focus Punch

but I don't recall natures or anything like that, I only had substatute so I could grasswhistle foes to sleep and focus punch them, if it works, but you could change that.
