Symbolism in literature is usually subjective, so what the roses represent can vary from reader to reader. However, it is frequently said that the scene in which the white roses are painted red refers to the War of the Roses, in which the House of York, whose symbol was a white rose, was defeated by the House of Lancaster who used a red rose as their symbol.

Its an enchanted rose it blooms until the beast's 21st year and then as the years pass the rose slowly dies and if he can learn to love another by the time the last petal falls then the spell will be broken if not he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.

The rose is a death clock for the Beast's life. When the petals all fall down, he dies.

Most likely, time. I guess it could mean love and/or a limited second chance, as well. :)
