About the name Rose
Rose comes from the Latin rosa, the name of the flower. The Normans introduced the name to England in forms such as Roese, which may originally have come from the Germanic word hros, meaning horse, but it soon became identified with the flower. The rose has long symbolized love and, in Christian art, the Virgin Mary. Saint Rose of Lima, a Peruvian mystic, was the first person born in the Americas to be canonized. Rose is also widely used as a middle name, and Rosa is the Latin, Italian, and Spanish form.
