The Rose

Description
A dark red rose that seems to be of the species 'Black Bacarra', but actually isn't a flower at all. The rose is an artefact, described as the ghost of a rose.

It seems to be linked with The Flat Cap Man, but it markedly different from the usual descriptions of roses left behind by him. When touched by Oliver, this rose did not disappear entirely but instead collapsed into ashes, and later reformed into a rose.

History
Sam first receives the Rose on Christmas Eve, in a box signed from 'Dad'.

Sam receives a phone call from Rhytidia and the two of them talk about the rose. They reveal the rose species, and points Sam towards the Hatfield Karpos. Sam visits the Karpos, and the Rose disintegrates into ash when Oliver touches it. He also briefly dies. When Sam tells the listeners about all this, they find that the Rose is in tact again.
