Why do you suppose Faulkner calls his story "A Rose for Emily"?

The title of this short story has been the context of
criticism for many years and will likely continue to be debated even in your classroom. 
Some have asked, why say simply "A Rose for Emily," rather than "A Rose for Miss
Emily."  Some have asked, "What about roses?  Nowhere else in the story mentions flowers
of any kind."  Finally, the questions that plague most readers and critics are, "In the
end, did Faulkner wish to pay a tribute to Emily or was he mocking
her?"

Despite the questions and arguments, a couple things
are clear.  First, the title is in direct reference to the fact that Miss Emily is dead
and the story opens with her funeral.  Next, this title is ambiguous and it adds to the
rest of the mystery held in the story.  Even though this story is considered
modern, it is also considered gothic. 
Faulkner likely intentionally created a title that would leave the reader with such
questions as this does.
