Shakespeare uses the rose most often as a symbol of transient beauty, as in "Against the blown rose may they stop their nose That kneel'd unto the buds." (Antony and Cleopatra), or "Ay, so you serve us Till we serve you; but when you have our roses, You barely leave our thorns to prick ourselves And mock us with our bareness" (All's Well that Ends Well), or " Sweet roses do not so; Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odours made: And so of you, beauteous and lovely youth, When that shall fade, my verse distills your truth" (Sonnet 54) or "For women are as roses, whose fair flower Being once display'd, doth fall that very hour." (Twelfth Night)
The plays in which the rose is used as a symbol are the three Henry VI plays, notably Henry VI Part I in Act II Scene 4 where English lords wear white and red roses to show what side they have chosen (hence the "War of the Roses"). The use of roses to charactrerize the Yorkist and Lancastrian sides runs through all three plays and is finally used in Richard III to show that reconciliation is nigh: " And then, as we have ta'en the sacrament, We will unite the white rose and the red".
Notwithstanding that a rose is shown on the cover of the Scholastic edition of the play and notwithstanding the line "that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet", roses are not a significant symbol in Romeo and Juliet.
"That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" are words spoken by Juliet in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

The Rose was built in 1587, so it would not have been a Shakespeare play. It is not even known which acting company used it at first, and there are no records of performances until 1592.

The Mary Rose is a ship which foundered in 1645 in the reign of Henry VIII. It was well before Shakespeare's time, but study of the wreckage has given valuable clues to historians about life in the sixteenth century. Shakespeare was born in the second half of that century. So basically the Mary Rose is as related to Shakespeare as the wreck of the battleship Arizona in Pearl Harbour (sunk 396 years after the Mary Rose) is related to Nicolas Cage (born 400 years after Shakespeare).
No. Jack and Rose are fictional characters.
