The Rose and the Rose Cross has many different meanings.
From Wikipedia:
The rose has always been valued for its beauty and has a long history of symbolism. The ancient Greeks and Romans identified the rose with their goddesses of love referred to as Aphrodite and Venus. In Rome a wild rose would be placed on the door of a room where they were discussing sensitive or confidential matters. The phrase sub rosa, or "under the rose", means keeping a secret - derived from Roman practice.
Early Christians identified the five petals of the rose with the five wounds of Christ. Despite this interpretation, their leaders are reluctant to approve because of its association with Roman excesses and pagan ritual. The red rose was eventually adopted as a symbol of the blood of Christian martyrs. Roses also later came to be associated with the Virgin Mary.
