Aphrodite was in possession of a magical girdle that would make the wearer absolutely irresistible. In this way, Aphrodite was able to seduce many people, and in mythology, was seen to lend the use of her girdle to several others (Hera, for example). Therefore, this famous girdle is one of her symbols.
Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, is often associated with symbols like the dove, apple, and myrtle. The dove represents peace and love, reflecting her role as a goddess of romantic attraction. The apple, linked to the myth of the Golden Apple of Discord, signifies desire and beauty, while myrtle is a plant sacred to her, symbolizing love and immortality. Together, these symbols encapsulate her dominion over love, desire, and the beauty of nature.
Her symbols featured in myths, these acted as a reminder for these stories in the time of the ancients, something they could relate to and physically touch.

Yes.
Apple, lettuce, myrtle-tree, myrrh-bush, rose and anemone were sacred plants of Aphrodite.
Roses
The myrtle was sacred to Aphrodite. It was often displayed in her shrines & gardens. She often wore a myrtle wreath or crown. Then comes the question, why was it sacred to her. The only explanation I've seen is because it rhymes with girdle. Aphrodite had a girdle, more like a belt, that made the wearer sexually irresistible. Seems a pretty thin thread to me -- she was also fertile Myrtle.
Yes, it was one of her symbols.

The sacred animal that symbolizes Aphrodite is the dove. Because she is the Greek Goddess of love and beauty, and the dove symbolizes love, that was made her sacred or "favorite" animal.
