Line 51:
* Muraki Kazutaka in ''[[Yami no Matsuei]]'' has a thing for roses, at one point stating the symbolism of the roses he attempts to give to the main character as "eternal love", which just reinforces the point made throughout the manga that he's not someone one should mess around with.
* Himuro Saeki in ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]''.
* Tatewaki Kuno from ''[[Ranma
* 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 ''[[Zero no Tsukaima]]'' uses one instead of a wand, to complement his casanova appearance.
Line 107:
* Instead of James/Kojiro, mentioned above, Jessie/Musashi of ''[[Pokémon]]'' has, on at least one occasion, held a rose during an introduction.
* Chie in ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' carries a blue rose around with her, which given her [[Bifauxnen|quasi-boyish appearance]] and the fuckton of [[Les Yay]] that she gives off in her first appearance, is likely playing off this trope.
* Kodachi Kuno in ''[[Ranma
** She also summons up a veritable storm of black rose petals whenever she makes her [[Incoming Ham|dramatic entrance]] (and [[Villain Exit Stage Left|dramatic exit]]), covering the ground, the walls, the furniture, and the innocent bystanders, who complain about having to clean up after her.
** Black rose bouquets as hidden bombs for sleeping powder and paralysis powder (and actual gunpowder, in one manga story) are also a favorite tactic.
Line 143:
* ''[[Animal Crossing]]'' allows roses to be equipped as face items. Unlike other flowers, which are worn on the head, they are carried in the mouth.
* Gertrude Stein: ''[[wikipedia:A rose is a rose is a rose|A rose is a rose is a rose]]'' ...
* Dancers in ''[[Final Fantasy:
* ''The Rose Tattoo'' by Tennessee Williams practically overdoses on rose symbolism. The original owner of the rose tattoo is named Rosario delle Rose. His wife, who compares his skin to a yellow rose petal, likes to wear [[Flower in Her Hair|a rose in her hair]] and imagines the tattoo appeared on her breast when she conceived, which is perhaps why her daughter is named Rosa. The symbolism doesn't stop there.
