BROKEN ROSE BUD OR STEM - Most commonly the hanging bud is used on headstones of children who died an untimely or premature death.  The broken bud or stem represents the flower that did not bloom into full blossom, the life that was cut short before it had a chance to grow to adulthood.  The three leaves on the rose stem represent the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
