I'd probably avoid pairing TWO obvious flower names, like Lily Rose ... just a thought. Emmerson Rose isn't bad, although a more masculine name like this doesn't have the same "girly" feel as your other choices, of course. Also, the double-M spelling kind of makes it look like you're trying to make it appear more feminine, so I'd assume a masculine or unisex name probably wasn't really for you. Therefore, my vote easily went to Madeline Rose, which is lovely through and through. Just don't call her Maddy.

Thanks Kelli, and everyone else who voted.. I know, the two flower thing throws me off too, but my grandmothers name is Lily and DH's grandmothers name is Rose and we both really want to honor them + we like their names.. I would never use rose as a first name, but I prefer it to Lily as a middle.. Oh well, we'll figure it out.
Thanks again,
Madison

Kelli already summed up all my reasons I voted for Madeline.

They all seem very trendy to me, I personally would find something a bit less popular. I do think that if you use Emerson, to spell it this way. The double m looks like a spelling error to me. It just looks a bit off.

You could also find alternative ways to incorporate Rose, if you'd like to keep Lily as is.

Rosalyn
Rosalind
Rosemary/Rosemarie
Rosamond
Rosalia/Rosalie
Rosalba
Roseanne
Rosetta

Other alternatives for Lily (in addition to those mentioned) could be Lilla or Lila/Lilah (even Delilah, although that's a bit of a stretch).
