What accessory could you possibly add to up your sex appeal 20 notches, show your sensitive side, and [[Rule of Cool|look really cool]]? A rose, of course! It's a flower, so it's beautiful and romantic like you, but it has thorns, and you're no wuss. Hold it between your teeth, if you want to up your sex appeal a few more notches. Perfect!

== Male Examples ==
* Kurama (pictured) in ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', who had the [[Green Thumb|ability to control plants and use them as weapons]]. His [[Weapon of Choice]] is a [[Whip It Good|whip created from a single rose]]. The fact that he was better looking than many of the women in the show also helped up his sex appeal.
* Hideaki Asaba from ''[[Kare Kano]]'', who considers himself God's gift to women.
Line 55:
* Tatewaki Kuno from ''[[Ranma ½]]'' often proffers roses (usually a single one, held in his mouth) to Akane during his rare, serious moments.
* Creed from ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'' often carries a rose, and this is taken to ridiculous extremes in the anime version, where his bath is full of roses. Also, he encloses a rose in the letter he sends to the hero. The hero is Not Amused.
* Guiche from ''[[
* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' if Zelos is in his formal wear costume there is a chance that in battle his weapon will be a bouquet of roses.
* Kenshin of ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' subverts this in an artbook piece, which has the usual setup for him having a rose in his mouth, but it's actually a maple branch with a leaf. It makes sense in character, plus it's [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|symbolic]].
Line 97:
* In ''[[Tales of Graces]]'', Richard's level 1 [[Limit Break|Blast Calibur]] is called Vertex Rose.
* In ''[[Wooden Rose]]'', Aidan Thorne can conjure up roses from bare ground.
* In ''[[Nip and Tuck]]'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20120528141800/http://www.rhjunior.com/NT/00105.html the bull's response to learning he's going out to stud is a rose between the teeth.]
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20120528141427/http://www.rhjunior.com/NT/00866.html He's not the only one.]
* In ''[[Sinfest]]'' [
** [
* In [[Dan Abnett]]'s [[Gaunt's Ghosts|Necropolis]] When the noble houses of Vervunhive place Ibram Gaunt in charge of the defense of their city, they give him a symbolic rose from House Chass's gardens. House Chass practices the art of cybernetic gardening, though, each plant a carefully-designed metallic object, so this is a ''steel rose''. It {{spoiler|saves his life when he's shot with a bolt gun point-blank (because it exploded ''next'' to him rather than ''inside'' him}} in what [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane|might, or might not, have been]] [[Divine Intervention]].
* In ''[[Tekken]]'', Lee Chaolan can be customized to hold a rose between his teeth, fitting with his [[The Charmer]] persona.
Line 123:
* Poison Ivy in ''[[Batman]]'' tends to do this at least once in every incarnation.
=== [[
* A rose is the special weapon for the Chibi, the Grass Guardian, in ''[[Guardians of Pokémon]]''. This is a subversion of the usual character type, however, as she's the [[Token
