The meaning of the title：what does a rose symbolize?

What is the image of Emily? (Image 1)
• Small, fat, spare, plumpness, looked bloated like a body, pallid hue, eyes looked like coal pressed into a lump of dough.
• smell in Emily's house & complaints in the neighborhood & actions taken to do away
• death of Emily‘s father & her delayed disposal
•Section 3
• Emily‘s sickness before dating with Homer Barron & passionate love
• (image 2)
“her upright torso motionless as that an idol” this is one of the vivid images of Emily the author creates in the story.
• Why does the author portrays her in such a way?
• This quality of hers can be seen
in her courting with Homer Barron,
a Yankee foreman, despite
traditional social prejudice.
