Canon
Growing up in a small town that doesn't have much to offer someone like Belle, books became her escape and would someone day like to have the similar kind of adventures as the people she reads about. Belle always having her nose in a book, however, got the town's people to view her as an odd person. Luckily the town's Liberian was always kind to her from being one of his most loyal and kindness customer. Each time she finished one of the books he lens her, she would return it for another book. After seeing her pick the same book twice for being her favourite, he allowed her to keep it. Even though Belle had tried to refuse his offer, she was thankful that he insisted that she kept it. That way she'll always be able to read about far off places, daring sword fights and a prince in disguise in one single book. Belle didn't approve of Gaston taking the book out of her hands and then dropping it in the mud right in front of her. Gaston's disregard of books is one of the reasons why Belle doesn't want to marry him. Belle was aware of liberty in the Beast's castle when she was being given a tour of the castle, but her curiosity of the West Wing kept her from seeing it's books with Cogsworth and Lumiere. Luckily Lumiere gives Belle another chance to see it when he subjected to his master that he presents the liberty as a gift to Belle.

Fanon
Even though the magical rose was one of Beast's possessions and Belle had no knowledge that it was tied to the spell he was under, it has always been seen as Belle's iconic Disney Princess item. As well as it being the main reason why roses are viewed as her iconic flower. Fans of the Once Upon A Time series and Disney's Belle were pleased that the ABC series was able to add the rose to it. When the A Twisted Tale version of the Disney film presented the Enchantress as Belle's mother, it got fans to wonder if that might be why Belle felt drawn to the rose. From how she tried to touch it twice, the first being the first Beauty and the Beast film and the second time was shown in its Christmas special film.

Whenever Belle is presented as a Keyblade wielder from the world of Kingdom Hearts, she is sometimes given one of the two BatB based keyblades that are mostly based off the enchanted rose. Even though some people prefer to give Belle a fan made Keyblade that has little to do with the rose. From how KH have already done Keyblades of the magic flower, and wanted to give Belle something more original.
