The Rose also symbolizes the recollection, the remembrance of lessons learned in youth. Dr Heidegger, who realizes the mistakes of the past and accepts his fate, treasures the rose for half a century as a reminder of what has happened to him. It is the Butterfly that represents the symbol of the brevity of life.

The rose first appears at the beginning of the story. It is a dried and withered rose, and readers learn that Dr. Heidegger’s fiancée gave it to him before she died. While it may be considered a symbol of regret or sadness, it is used to prove that the water from the “fountain of youth” does work, which can be construed as a symbol of hope. However, the withering of the rose at the end of the story foreshadows the fate of Dr. Heidegger’s four friends and the transient nature of youth:

"I love it as well thus, as in its dewy freshness," observed he, pressing the withered rose to his withered lips. While he spoke, the butterfly fluttered down from the doctor's snowy head, and fell upon the floor.

Thus, the rose seems to be a symbol of the moral of this story: people must not fear old age, but accept it and see it as another important stage of life. This acceptance is visible in how Dr. Heidegger values the experience and wisdom that have come with age and would not wish to be young again. Just as he has learned to cherish his old age, he cherishes the withered rose just as much as when it was fresh and dewy.
