Significance of Roses

Roses are symbols of love and honor. Ron suggests that the entire gang, including Pauline and Mike, throw roses from Shakespeare Cliff in honor of Bethany on the anniversary of her death. Additionally, Mike receives an email containing the image of a single rose every year on the anniversary of Bethany’s death. He briefly wonders if Bethany is alive and if this is a message from her indicating that she cares about him.
