A submissive girl who is extremely feminine/delicate and seeks full-time or near-full-time
d/s relationships where any "BDSM play" is light and the focus is on the emotional aspects of the relationship.
Rose petals often openly display their kink because they do not see it as provocative, unlike the lifestyle of most other submissives (babygirls, slaves, sissies, etc.) This is most commonly shown through the use of accessories such as lace choker necklaces and jewelry featuring a lock.
Rose petals strive to be the
romantic interests we see in Victorian/
Edwardian and fantasy literature, who are typically reserved and graceful. Unlike many other submissives,
rose petals do not enjoy being severely hurt, degraded, or humiliated by their dominant partners. In their eyes, dominant/submissive relationships are beautiful and romantic, and should not be tainted in such ways. This type of
submissive woman most often seeks a dominant who is also sophisticated and romantic, but has a dark and mysterious edge. When with the right type of partner for them, the rose
petal can become very service-oriented and nurturing/soothing. In return, they seek emotional guidance and safety.
Not to be confused with submissive wives, babygirls, "little girl" subs, "occasional" kinksters, or vanilla women who happen to be especially feminine. It is also worth noting that rose petals value themselves just as highly as their dominant partners, so they do not commonly use titles or pronoun capitalization.
Person 1: "How are things going with your new
submissive girlfriend?"
Person 2: "Not like I expected, dude. All she wanted me to do last night was tie her up with a silk scarf and tickle her with a feather. She asked me to spoon her all night, though. I think she's
a rose petal."
