Modern Forms
One modern form of the Rosie Cross is found in a Rosicrucian Christian symbol that places a crown of red roses ennobling a white rose at the centre of the cross; radiating behind is the golden five-pointed star, an allusion also to 'the Five Points of Fellowship'. It is the symbol of the fraternity that has prepared a great lodge for the Brethren to be gathered.
Another version used by the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis suggests that "together, the rose and cross represent the experiences and challenges of a thoughtful life well lived."
