In mythology, rose meaning is associated with Aphrodite
(Greek) goddess
of love who was often depicted
adorned with roses
around her head, feet and or neck.
In lore, we track down this
association
when we discover that a rose bush grew within the
pool of blood
spilled from Aphrodite's slain lover (Adonis).
We
can interpret the symbolism here several ways.
The most common
interpretation is that the rose
symbolizes an immortal love
or a union that will never fade - even through
time or death.
