The Rose Cross (also called Rose Croix and Rosy Cross) is a symbol largely associated with the legendary Christian Rosenkreuz, a Christian Kabbalist and alchemist said to have been the founder of the Rosicrucian Order.[1][2] The Rose Cross is a cross with a rose at its centre, which is usually red, golden, or white.[a] It symbolizes the teachings of a Western esoteric tradition with Christian tenets.[4][5][6]
As a key Rosicrucian symbol, the Rosy Cross was also used by the Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross (1750s–1790s), and is still used by the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (1865–present).
