The Meaning of the Roses - Amber has a singular rose in the first outfit because that outfit was about her life as the Rose Princess and the rose symbolizes that she only ever knew roses. - Amber has a rose with a bright stem and a black rose in the second outfit because that outfit is about her life as a rebel and the rose symbolizes that the Rose Dynasty rebels want to get rid of/stop the Rose Dynasty (that's the black rose) and that the Thorns/Orchids should have justice thus the bright healthy stem which is where the thorns are on a rose. - Shay has a black rose and thorn in her first outfit because it's set after the rebellion and both dynasties are gone as well as Orchid. There is no separation between classes anymore. - Shay has a black rose with a green stem in her second outfit as this is her rebel outfit and it's for the same reasons as Amber's. - Shay has a group of red roses in her third outfit because that was before the rebellion and the Rose Dynasty controlled her life and the rest of the Thorn Dynasty.
