1. rose (flower)
   • c. 37 BCE – 30 BCE, Virgil, Georgics 4.267:

     Proderit et tunsum gallae admiscere saporem / arentesque rosas […]

     It's good too to blend a taste of pounded oak-apples / and dry rose leaves […]

   • 61 CE – c. 112 CE, Pliny the Younger, Epistulae 5:

     Inde etiam rosas effert, umbrarumque frigus non ingrato sole distinguit. Finito vario illo multiplicique curvamine recto limiti redditur nec huic uni, nam viae plures intercedentibus buxis dividuntur.[2][3]

     Farther on, there are roses too along the path, and the cool shade is pleasantly alternated with sunshine. Having passed through these manifold winding alleys, the path resumes a straight course, and at the same time divides into several tracks, separated by box hedges.[4][5]
     Even roses grow there, and the warmth of the sun is delightful as a change from the cool of the shade. When you come to the end of these various winding alleys, the boundary again runs straight, or should I say boundaries, for there are a number of paths with box shrubs between them.[6]

2. (transferred sense, endearment) dear, rose, sweetheart, love; a word of endearment

   Mea rosa. ― My love.

   Rosa! ― Honey!

   Tu mihi rosa es. ― You are my sweetheart.
