In the movie Selena, a white rose is thrown to her, but she does not catch it. It is used as a metaphor to show that she died, as once it falls, she stops singing, as if everything she and the rose had in common is gone.
One of her most popular songs, Como una Flor, is based on plastic white roses that Selena y Los Dinos would sell at their concerts.
Selena loved white roses. When she passed away, her brother asked her fans to bring white roses. When everyone came to pay their respects, there was a sea of thousands of white roses. Thus, the white rose became a symbol associated with Selena. (See Interview: Suzette Quintanilla - Sister of Selena, the "Queen of Tejano Music")
