Hello, My name is George and I hope this helps you
First, this is a very good question and should rouse debate among some fellow users. There are many rules and varying applications for this type of rhetoric, but to keep things simple, I have supplied an answer which is most common for English purposes
A metaphorical Rose can mean love, Passion, lust etc.etc. Metaphors are commonly dependent on it's linguistic delivery. sentence structure, punctuation and at times body language.
A metaphor can define a word, thing, feeling, verse, song, poem, thought or emotion.
A real rose speaks for itself.
A metaphor implies one thing for another. Like in your statement. "Where the metaphorical rose is love and the real rose is a flower"
William Shakespeare was famous for metaphorical linguistics as well as Aristotle
I provided a link for you below which describes rhetoric and metaphor..
Hope it helps you!
Best Wishes and Good Luck with your query!

a metaphor is saying one thing is another
like
'my love is a red, red rose'
of course my love is a person.... and I am just saying that it is a rose... in other words I am using a metaphor.... a very plagiarised one I should point out...
a rose by any other name is still a rose... but something is not a rose just because you say it is...
a real rose is a rose... a metaphorical rose is anything but a rose... that is said to be a rose...
metaphors imply one thing is another...
