So the rose represents a relationship, as the book mentions that the two (the rose and the prince) love each other. But the rose is really conceited and naive, which starts to annoy the prince. Because the rose is so prideful, she can't really bring herself to tell the prince she loves her, and the prince starts to doubt her love. However, when the prince decides he wants to leave, the rose finally shows her love, but it's already too late. But it's not only the rose's fault. The prince was naive in not realizing the rose's affection for him: he looked for outward signs like her words. However, he realizes later in the book (through the fox) that their love is there because of the time they spent together. He realizes his own foolishness and lets himself get bitten by the snake.

because roses don't transplant well
Shut Up
Because I think he was trying to get to something, to understand something. He is young and he knows so little of the things around him. 'What is essential is invisible to the eyes...' he was trying to know something he knew all along. LOVE. He loved his rose, it's uniqueness.
