A rose in full bloom represents love at its height, while a bud suggests love cut short, and a falling or broken rose symbolizes a life ended. In this way, the rose became a visual language for both the presence of love and the pain of its interruption.In Victorian mourning art and jewelry, roses often appear carved, painted, or enameled in quiet, subdued forms rather than bright, celebratory ones. A single rose might represent a beloved individual; a wreath of roses could symbolize eternal love or remembrance without end. Thorns, when included, added a layer of meaning — love that is beautiful, but not without suffering.
