The Elf of The Rose is a story by Hans Christian Andersen about a girl who falls in love with an elf. The elf is from the rose, and he has been watching over the girl since she was born. He is in love with her, and he wants to protect her. However, the girl is afraid of him because she doesn't understand what he is. Eventually, she comes to understand that the elf is trying to help her, and she falls in love with him too.
The Elf of The Rose is one of seventeen fairy tales featured in this collection of stories by Hans Christian Andersen. The Elf lives inside a beautiful rose-tree in full blossom. He is such a little wee thing, that no human eye could see him. During the day he enjoys the warm sunshine, flies from flower to flower, and dances on the wings of the flying butterflies.
