why were the white roses in the hunger games symbolic?

In "The Hunger Games" trilogy by Suzanne Collins, the white roses were symbolic of President Snow's power and manipulation. President Snow was known for sending white roses to his enemies as a warning or a message of imminent danger. The white roses represented his ruthless and cunning nature, as well as his ability to control and manipulate the lives of those around him. They served as a constant reminder of the fear and oppression that he wielded over the citizens of Panem.
