Spiritual meanings and symbolic attributes associated with roses:

    Love and Passion: Roses, particularly red ones, are emblematic of deep, passionate love. They express heartfelt emotions and are often given to signify romantic love or deep affection.
    Beauty and Perfection: The rose's intricate design and delicate petals represent beauty in its purest form, suggesting perfection, elegance, and aesthetic pleasure.
    Secrecy and Confidentiality: The phrase "sub rosa" (literally "under the rose") historically meant that conversations held under a rose emblem were to be kept secret. This tradition symbolizes confidentiality, trust, and discretion.
    Life Cycle and Mortality: The rose's life from bud to bloom to wilt mirrors human life cycles, symbolizing birth, life, maturity, and death. This can also reflect on the transient nature of beauty and life.
    Balance: The presence of both beautiful petals and sharp thorns on a rose symbolizes the balance of life - beauty with the potential for pain, joy with sorrow. It teaches about the coexistence of opposites in life.
    Purity and Innocence: White roses, in particular, are seen as symbols of innocence, purity, and simplicity, embodying the idea of an unblemished soul or intention.
    Sacrifice: The thorns of the rose might be seen as a symbol of sacrifice or the pain one might endure for love or in pursuit of personal goals. They remind us of the costs associated with beauty or achievement.
    Transformation: The process of a rose blooming from a bud represents transformation and growth, symbolizing personal development, enlightenment, or the unfolding of one's true self.
    Friendship and New Beginnings: Yellow roses often symbolize friendship, joy, and the promise of new beginnings, reflecting positive changes or new chapters in life.
    Resilience: Despite their delicate appearance, roses can grow in various conditions, symbolizing resilience, the strength to survive adversity, and the ability to thrive with care.

These meanings highlight the rose's role as a multifaceted symbol in human culture, reflecting on love, life, human conditions, and personal growth without invoking divine or celestial connotations.
