I don't think the rose itself has changed... It has always been the same shape and didn't start out as "a perfectly fine rose" and then turn wilted. It's just hard to tell through the white designs behind it.

As for the white designs, I've seen it theorized that they're supposed to represent a belladonna plant, as it seems to have some blossoms shaped similarly to Atropa belladonna flowers, which is what Blake's emblem is based on. If that's the case, then it could represent how much his love/obsession for Blake has taken over.
