[edit]Our article on The Name of the Rose (novel by Umberto Eco) says
- […] Eco saying in the Postscript he chose the title "because the rose is a symbolic figure so rich in meanings that by now it hardly has any meaning left".
This should be worked in the article somewhere, but I'm lazy to do it now. – b_jonas 17:19, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Rose (symbolism) → Rose symbolism – Since this page isn't for disambiguation, it shouldn't be structured with a parenthetical. For examples of this convention, see Plant symbolism, Human skull symbolism, Black and white hat symbolism in film. ~BappleBusiness[talk] 05:59, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Support per nom (and I support the "Talk:Black rose (symbolism)" and "Talk:Serpent (symbolism)" concurrent move requests as well). Paintspot Infez (talk) 21:27, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Symbolism
[edit]It is extraordinary how barren this section is of specific indications of just what it is that roses symbolize, exactly. Just sayin'.
Is it fear of straying from a NPOV, or of being being sexist, that has restrained people from saying the obvious -- viz., that roses (the flower specifically, of course, but also the plant and its life cycle, etc.) naturally combine form and scent and ephemeralness in a way that has made them through the ages a favorite symbol of many aspects of feminine beauty, the female sex, etc., as well as a common female name?
