This is referenced in the scene where Gaga is accending to heaven with a fresh rose with no thorns, to a wilted rose covered in thorns as shes pulled back to earth. The sin? There could be a few theories. We know Gaga loves to draw inspiration from Catholic culture in her art too
The rose was a privileged symbol for Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth. Her other titles were Rosa Mystica or Mystic Rose.

This is again referencing the rose that Gaga is holding as she& #39;s passing away, until the doctors bring her back to life. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose">
"In Greco-Roman culture the rose& #39;s symbolic qualities represented beauty, the season of spring, and love. It also spoke of the fleetness of life, and therefore of death. In Rome the feast called "Rosalia" was a feast of the dead: thus the flower referred to the next world." https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose">
In Armenia, there is a parade called the Rose Parade, with huge floats made from thousands of roses.

Gaga may have wanted to show some appreciation for one of the biggest events of the Armenian people by including roses in the video.

Can you see the pomegranates on this float?
Some of Gaga& #39;s clothing and accessories throughout the short film also references roses.

From the full body black outfit covered in colourful roses, to the spikey headpieces that resemble the thorns of a rose, to the lace on the last black outfit before she is brought back https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose">
Maybe Gaga could be eluding to her last short film, G.U.Y., an ARTPOP film as roses were a common symbol in that video too.
Whatever is the true perception of why the rose is so prominent in the 911 short film is definitely up to ones own interpretation.

I can& #39;t wait to hear more of Gaga& #39;s artistic vision when it comes to this film. I& #39;m so happy to see her creativity is very much alive and thrivinghttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose">
