Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882-1927) says, the rose consists of several petals that blend together, so that the Sufi soul exhibits different qualities.
This quality radiates the aroma of spiritual personality.

Just like perfume of perfume roses that permeate the whole room, a Sufi penetrates society and helps solve problems. Quran Ar-Rahman 55: 37-38 mentions the red rose:

In a story told when he was in the city of Baghdad, he was approached by messengers of the saints and told him:
"O Abdul Qadir Al-Jailani, you have no place in the city of Baghdad, because the city of Baghdad has been filled by the Guardians of God."
Abdul Qadir Al-Jailani said while pointing out a glass that had contained clear water: "As this is Baghdad, the glass is the city of Baghdad and the water is the guardians of God"
Then he took a Red Rose from the sky, then placed it in the water in the glass, saying: "And I am the Rose among His guardians".
At that very moment the guardian of the messenger fell down and prostrated to ask forgiveness of Allah for his pride.
