I think Rose were used as symbols of beauty and love in ancient times. I don't know whether there is any other specific reason for this.

Santosh, that's is an interesting question. Hope we will get good answers for this from our friends here.

Santosh- literature as well as movie reflect what is there in society. We have no other way to know. It is aptly said that literature mirrors society.

I always think it is ironical that while red is a warning symbol, a red rose is a symbol of love...and a colour of shyness.

The "RED" color always symbolizes Love and Respect.

The "Red Rose" represents the passion and desire of love.. We always find that A red rose is given celebrate on Valentine's Day.

it is maybe because..

red is color of blood so just as blood is impportant for life, like that even his/her love is so important.

Sridevi's answer comes quite close!!! it is true that since red is the color of blood which is life-giving and Heart is the organ that is responsible for keeping life flowing through the body!
and since love is the matter of heart it is symbolized by a red rose and not of nay color! :)

I am remembering one poem of Scotland's favorite son Robert Burns.


Oh, my love is like a red, red rose,
that's newly sprung in June;
Oh, my love is like the melody,
that's sweetly played in tune.

I think it's an English way of saying love but we- the Indians- can think of some other beautiful flowers.
