People who search bible verses about the Rose of Sharon want Scripture on chabatstseleth — the Song's Sharon blossom title long read of Christ and his people — not only the tree of life inventory or the true vine plant list alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about the tree of life, Bible verses about the true vine, Bible verses about the vine, Bible verses about love, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about hope, and Bible verse of the day. Rose of Sharon here means the Song 2:1 blossom title — distinct from lily-of-the-valley focus (Song 2:2+) and from tree-of-life / true-vine lists alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, "rose" / crocus in Song 2:1 is חֲבַצֶּלֶת chabatstseleth (Strong's H2261; Bible Hub H2261) — meadow-saffron, crocus, or rose of Sharon. The Song places the blossom in Sharon's plain; this list tracks that title and related blossom/fragrance passages, not the whole vine or tree-of-life inventory. (Lily language from Song 2:1's second half is developed on the lily page — Song 2:1 stays here.)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Song of Songs 2 treats the rose of Sharon and the beloved's self-description (Bible Hub MHC Songs 2; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Song 2). Isaiah 35 presses the desert blooming like the crocus (Bible Hub MHC Isaiah 35; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Isaiah 35). (Tree-of-life and true-vine lists live on those pages; this list centers Rose of Sharon.)
