Rose \r(o)-se\ as a girl's name is pronounced
rohz. It is of
Latin origin, and the meaning of Rose is "
rose".
Flower name. The name, which the
Normans brought to
Britain in the
11th century, can also be traced to the
Old German words "hros" meaning "
horse", or "hrod" meaning "
fame, renown". The
flower meaning is possibly more valid, given the
Christian symbolic meaning of the
rose. The "
rosa mystica" is the
Virgin Mary.

And since we're speaking of the name Rose....may I suggest to you that the books "Eight Cousins" and "Rose in Bloom" by Louisa May Alcott are very good books.... :)
