* MeaningfulName: Rose, like the flower after which she was named, is beautiful. However, she isn't all pleasant; her thorns come in the form of [[spoiler:a morally bankrupt father]].
* SinsOfOurFathers: Rose pays the price for lying about [[spoiler:her father.]]
* UptownGirl: Played with. Rose is evidently better-off than the titular "Bakwit Boys," but she gets more and more hesitant to use the riches stored in her bank account because [[spoiler:they're a product of her Dad's corrupt crimes. Her father turns out to be the senator who fucked over the town of Isabela, from where the Boys hailed, for his own gain and profit.]] She eventually lies to the boys and tells them she has no cash.
