"The Rose" is a pop song written by Amanda McBroom and featured in the 1979 movie The Rose, in which it was performed by Bette Midler. Midler hit #3 on the U.S. pop charts with her version, which was certified as a gold single. Since then it has been covered by a variety of artists.

The song is a commentary on people who are so afraid of failing (in love, among other things) that they do not even try, as illustrated by the lyric "It's the soul, afraid of dying, that never learns to live..."

Midler's version of "The Rose" was played in a 1987 episode of the soap opera Days of our Lives, to signify the sorrow felt by the character Kayla Brady, who had just been raped. The song was also showcased in the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite. Napoleon and his classmates performed a routine in sign language with the song as accompaniment. This routine is where the famous "butterfly flapping" movement came from.

A Japanese translation of the song titled "Love is a Flower, You are the Seed" was the ending theme of Studio Ghibli's 1991 anime feature Omohide Poro Poro, also known as Only Yesterday, performed by Harumi Miyako.

LeAnn Rimes' 1997 album You Light up My Life includes "The Rose" as one of the tracks. America's Got Talent winner Bianca Ryan (who also covered "You Light Up My Life") includes "The Rose" in her eponymous debut album.

Country singer Conway Twitty recorded a No. 1 cover version in 1983.

Norwegian singer Kari Bremnes translated and sang the song on her 1997 album Månestein.

Mudhoney recorded a grunge version of "The Rose" in 1988. The recording can be found on the compilation album Sub Pop 200.

Belgian singer Ann Christy who also sung for her country in the Eurovision Song Contest ("Gelukkig Zijn") also recorded a Dutch-language version called "De Roos" which frequently appears in the Top 10 all-time favourite singles in Belgian polls.

"Rosé" is a soft rock song performed by British band The Feeling for their debut studio album, Twelve Stops and Home (2006). The song was released as the album's fifth single on February 12 2007.

During their interview for the television series, Live From Abbey Road, the band stated that the song is about rosé wine. The basic song was composed while they were drunk on the beverage, and started out as just a drinking song. Later, once they were sober, they condensed and refined it into what we now hear on the album.

The music for this song was used by The Chris Moyles Show for their parody "Jose", about the former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
