I'm not sure about Ruby's rose symbol. Pyrrha's just kinda reflects that she uses a spear. Ren's lotus symbol just kinda reflects that his name means lotus. Nora's lightning hammer symbol just reflects her alluding to Thor.

Anyway, my point is, different characters' symbols reflect different things. There doesn't seem to be any sort of theme to it. About Ruby's rose symbol. I think it has many implications. The main one being that Red roses are mainly atributed to love. And Ruby seems to have an undying ammount of love towards her friends, and family. And her great love for protecting others like a hero.

I also think you can delve a little further into the death of Summer and the Red Like Roses song. Blood and what not also being represented by her symbol.
