A common symbol of love, the red rose has appeared in art and sculpture as well as flower arrangements for centuries.  Red roses are popular in needlepoint and tapestry art also. The red rose is often used to symbolize passionate love, but it can sometimes represent hope, death, new life, and friendship.
