"La rose qui a été de tout temps l’emblême de la beauté, de la vie, de l’amour et du plaisir, exprimait mystiquement toutes les protestations manifestées à la renaissance. . . . Rénuir la rose, à la croix, tel était le problème posé par la Haute Initiation."–Éliphas Lévi.

 

p. 16

In fashion as a snow-white Rose lay then

Before my view the saintly multitude,

Which in his own blood Christ espoused.

 

. . . But there has been a tendency to associate the White Rose with the Virgin Mary, that being chiefly chosen for her feast-days, while the more earthly feelings associated with the 'Frau Rosa,' are still represented in the superstitions connected with the Red Rose."

 

In Germany it appears as the symbol of silence. It was sculptured on the ceiling of the banquet hall to warn the guests against the repetition of what was heard beneath it. "The White Rose was especially sacred to silence. It was carved in the centre of the Refectory of the ancients for the same reason,"

White: Light, Purity, Joy, Sanctity, Silence, Prayer, Secrecy, Innocence, Loyalty, Humility, Balance

 

In the Scottish Rite the rose has special connections to some of the degrees. In the 4°, one of the virtues espoused is silence whereby we are reminded of the white rose. In the 18° which is referred to as the Knight Rose Croix (Rose Cross or Red Cross) where the cross used is one that all 4 limbs are the same size to denote balance.

another interesting article on the rose, including The White Rose Seal of Martin Luther.

<http:// www.golden-dawn.org/ fivepetaledrose.html

"There's lots of similarities to be found between the myths of the Virgin Mary and Isis Mighty Mother.

 

The five petaled rose was also the symbol of the great reformer Martin Luther, who some argues was either a inspiration to the Rosicrucian fraternity or was himself a member of that movement.

 

I have written about this connection elsewhere on this blog."
