What does the term “Guns and Roses” mean or symbolize?

What does the term "Guns and Roses" mean or symbolize? I am curious about the origins of this phrase and how it has evolved over time. Does it have specific cultural or artistic significance, particularly in terms of music or literature? I would appreciate insights into both its literal interpretation and its broader implications.

Individual Terms:

"Guns" symbolize war and destruction.

"Roses" usually symbolize love and romance; their use in making perfumes, as well as their association with Valentine’s Day reinforces this symbolism.

Putting the two Terms together:

Meaning 1: Love is destructive. Loving someone or being loved by someone will lead to bad endings for one or both people involved.

Meaning 2: Destruction is love. The converse of Meaning 1. It means that destruction is a sign of love; you often hear people say "We hurt the ones we love."

"Guns and Roses" is/was also a rock band.

If your asking where guns and roses got their name in the very early days of the band Axle Rose and Tracy Guns (Tracy later formed L.A. Guns) were in the band and the name was born. Soon thereafter though the for one reason or another Tracy left the band but they decided to keep the name.
