In this paper, we calculate the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for B{sup 0}{yields}{rho}{sup 0}{eta}{sup (')} and B{sup +}{yields}{rho}{sup +}{eta}{sup (')} decays in the perturbative QCD factorization approach. In this approach, we not only calculate the usual factorizable contributions, but also evaluate the nonfactorizable and annihilation type contributions. Besides the current-current operators, the contributions from the QCD and electroweak penguin operators are also taken into account. The theoretical predictions for the branching ratios are Br(B{sup +}{yields}{rho}{sup +}{eta}{sup (')}){approx_equal}9x10{sup -6} and Br(B{sup 0}{yields}{rho}{sup 0}{eta}{sup (')}){approx_equal}5x10{sup -8}, which agree well with the measured values and currently available experimental upper limits. We also predict large CP-violating asymmetries in these decays: A{sub CP}{sup dir}({rho}{sup {+-}}{eta}){approx_equal}-13%, A{sub CP}{sup dir}({rho}{sup {+-}}{eta}{sup '}){approx_equal}-18%, A{sub CP}{sup dir}({rho}{sup 0}{eta}){approx_equal}-41%, A{sub CP}{sup dir}({rho}{sup 0}{eta}{sup '}){approx_equal}-27%, A{sub CP}{sup mix}({rho}{sup 0}{eta}){approx_equal}+25%, and A{sub CP}{sup mix}({rho}{sup 0}{eta}{sup '}){approx_equal}+11%, which can be tested by the current or future B factory experiments.
