Definitely the symbology aspect, fresh rose petals are inconvenient as hell. I did the bed thing for my girlfriend one year for our anniversary but used fake fabric petals. No sticking, and I saved them for the next occasion. Your points are exactly the reason why I did that.

Is there some kind of benefit to putting rose petals in water, or is it just supposed to look pretty?
I simply don’t get the appeal. Having to clean up/unclog petals from a draining bathtub sounds like it would negate the peaceful, relaxing energy that a bath provides, doesn’t it?
Same question for rose petals in a bed. Peeling squished petals off my skin sounds like an annoying interruption to a sexy/romantic night, not something that adds value. Do people actually do either of these things IRL? Or are they just used to symbolize “romance” in media?

It looks good in pictures. Real humans don’t do that unless copying a picture they saw, and th n they never do it again.
