The Slipper and the Rose: the Story of Cinderella (1976)

An extremely dated and boring take on Cinderella, where everything was far too muted: the stepmother and stepsisters barely register as petty let alone evil, Cindy's not even the top five prettiest women at the ball, the humor is fairly easy to miss (except where the fairy godmother is concerned), the songs are almost entirely forgettable, and the romance is all told not shown. All that AND its runtime is overlong for such a thin story.

Obviously I understand what the slipper in the title signifies, but what is the rose?
