Relationship between the "Little Prince" and his Rose

The “Little Prince” leaves his planet, because his relationship with the rose is difficult. He cares for his flower but the rose very often gives him a bad conscience. “”I believe it is breakfast time,” she had soon added.” Would you be so kind as to tend to me?” And the little prince, utterly abashed, having gone to look for a watering can, served the flower. She had soon begun tormenting him with her rather touchy vanity.” (page 23)
The “Little Prince” can’t live with the rose, but he also can’t live without her. On the Earth he comes to a blossoming rose garden. Now the “Little Prince” feels very unhappy. His rose had told him that she was the only one of her kind. A fox explains the “Little prince” what the word “tamed” means. “I’m beginning to understand,” the little prince said. “There’s a flower…I think she’s tamed me…” (page 59) Now the “Little Prince” notices, that his rose is something unique for him and he decides to go back to look after her and see her again. At last he leaves the Earth, because he hasn’t found what he was looking for, because she waits for him on his own little planet.
