To sign 'rose', start by forming your dominant hand into an 'R' handshape. You do this by crossing your index and middle fingers while keeping your other fingers folded down. Bring the fingertips of your 'R' hand up to your face and gently touch one side of your nose. Then, lift your hand slightly and move it in a small arc to touch the other side of your nose. The motion is very similar to the action of holding a flower up to your face and smelling it.
To sign this, point to yourself for 'I', sign 'buy', then sign 'red' by bringing your index finger down your chin, and finish with the sign for 'rose' using the 'R' handshape.
Start by signing 'rose' with your 'R' handshape. Next, sign 'smell' by wafting your hand upward toward your nose, and finish with 'sweet' by brushing your flat hand down your chin.
First, point to the person you are talking about to indicate 'she'. Then, sign 'love' by crossing your arms over your chest, and finally, sign 'rose' by touching both sides of your nose.

The difference lies entirely in the handshape. The sign for 'flower' uses a flattened 'O' handshape, where all your fingertips touch your thumb. The sign for 'rose' is initialized, meaning it uses the 'R' handshape instead. Both signs share the exact same movement of touching one side of the nose and then the other.
No, you do not need to sign 'red' unless you are specifically describing the color of the rose. The sign for 'rose' inherently implies the flower itself, regardless of whether it is red, white, yellow, or pink. Only add color signs when that detail is important to your sentence.
Generally, names are fingerspelled in ASL. If you are referring to a person named Rose, you should fingerspell R-O-S-E. However, if that person is Deaf or heavily involved in the Deaf community, they might be given a specific name sign that incorporates the sign for 'rose', but you shouldn't assume this.
