* ''Series/{{Teresa}}'': the protagonist has a younger sister named Rosita, who tragically dies of a heart attack when her parents could not afford a treatment for her heart disease. Of course she passes the torch to Teresa, who starts to wear different rose-themes items with her wardrobe. Over the years, Teresa proves to be a rose with many many thorns, thanks to her beauty and manipulative ways of using people, hurting more and more herself and others in the process. Even the logo of the telenovela appears on the screen under the form of a red blooming rose with many thorns.

* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', a man named Rojuro Otoribayashi is nicknamed Rose. He ''and'' his friends got a ''horribly'' raw deal by [[spoiler: being forcibly transformed into Hollow/Shinigami hybrids by the BigBad. It does seem that Rose has earned a happier ending, though: as of manga chapter 481, he has been allowed back home and regained his captain seat.]] [[spoiler: Until the Vandereich invasion, that is, since his lieutenant Kira and a good part of his division were ''massacred'' by the invaders. Understandably, Rose is '''[[TranquilFury PISSED]]'''.]]

* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': While tragedy doesn't exactly hit this girl named Rose Berstein and she's much more of a RichBitch than a BrokenBird, in ''XIII'' she ''is'' a vital part in [[spoiler:Those Of The Past's plans... which end with Ash [[RetGone Ret-goning]] himself in what becomes a massive TearJerker.]] The dress she's wearing at that moment even has rose motifs all over it.

* Raiden's girlfriend Rosemary in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2''.

* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'', Snake is associated with blue roses, even self-describing himself as one in the ending, along with describing himself as 'a beast' (in the vein of ''Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast'', which also incorporated roses to represent time limits). This is because [[DesignerBabies blue roses cannot be obtained without genetically modifying them]] and reflects that while what he was is beautiful, he is also completely unnatural. Since his genetic modification led to him having incredible combat skills he used to ruin the lives of others and himself and ending up being ready to die of old age in his early 40s, the allusion is made with a certain level of serious pain.

* Parodied with Don Flamenco in the Wii version of [[VideoGame/PunchOut]], who carries a rose to the boxing match and solemnly lays it on top of Little Mac if he manages to knock him out (or holds it in his hands if he gets knocked out instead). In his Title Defense rematch, he carries a black rose instead, which is "washed" back to red if he wins.
