In the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite the song was featured in a deliberately mediocre dance by the "Happy Hands Club."

A Japanese translation of the song titled "Ai wa Hana, Kimi wa Sono Tane" ("Love is a Flower, You are the Seed") was the ending theme of Studio Ghibli's 1991 anime feature Omohide Poro Poro ("Only Yesterday"), performed by Miyako Harumi.

LeAnn Rimes' 1997 album You Light up My Life includes "The Rose" as one of the tracks. America's Got Talent winner Bianca Ryan (who also covered "You Light Up My Life") includes "The Rose" in her eponymous debut album.
