The denotation of rose is a particular kind of flower, while the connotation is of romantic love

2 is hard to find

the denotations of the word snake might be "reptile," "scaly," or "without legs." Connotations of the word, however, might include "treachery," "evil," or "betrayal."

the denotation is just describing someone who is not tall. ... The connotation of short can be negative when compared to words like little or tiny, but it can also seem positive compared to some other word choices such as stubby or elfin.
