* 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.

* Yoshimori of ''[[Kekkaishi]]'' has the ability to create facsimiles of himself, which he usually uses to take care of boring duties while he has a nap. For special occasions, he makes an ultra-hunky version of himself with Fabio hair and a rose in the teeth.

* Kamen Rider Caucasus, the [[Big Bad]] Dark Rider from ''[[Kamen Rider Kabuto|Kamen Rider Kabuto: God Speed Love]]'', has his signature Black Rose, which somehow makes him look extremely menicing and refined at the same time. He also frequantly uses them as a silent [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]], holding one up before [[Curb Stomp Battle|pummeling his opponent into oblivion]].

* [[The Hunger Games|President Snow]] is anything ''but'' [[Bishonen]], but he has a greenhouse filled with roses, leaves behind roses as a warning to his enemies, and has done something to himself so that he permanently smells of roses--as well as of blood. {{spoiler|The blood smell's actually natural: he tried to poison both himself and a rival, and since he didn't take the antidote quickly enough, he's got permanent mouth ulcers. The rose smell is intended to cover it up.}}

* ''[[Bleach]]'': [[The Fighting Narcissist|Beauty-obsessed]] [[Macho Camp|Charlotte's]] release is called "Reina des Roses" ("Queen of the Roses"). We see why when he unleashes his ultimate attack: a black thorn bush inside which a single white rose blooms, killing the opponent trapped inside. The attack is designed to symbolise his aesthetic of beauty equalling strength.
