The Name of the Rose 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?
