Cover art for Rose Garden lyrics by Nick Jonas & The Administration

This song may be about Selena Gomez. Because her mom had her when she was a teenager and her dad didn;t stay with her and her mom. It may also be about Demi Lovato, because her dad also didn't stay, but I'm not sure how old Demi's mom was when she had her.

I think the 'rose garden' represents the show business and how there are good things about it and bad things about it. The thorns represent the negative parts about show business and how nasty and cut-throat it can be. A thorn can hurt you easily, like the show business. I think the 'flower shop in town' is talking about when she worked on Barney in her hometown to help out her and her mom.

'She was young but not naive' is talking about how Selena was forced to grow up fast when she got on Disney, and when she had to work at a young age on Barney.

'Don't let those petals fall on you' is telling the girl not to let Hollywood suck her in.
