Some people say it's admiration but no one admires anyone that much. She acted like she had lost a child or something. You don't see an officer react the same way to their captain dieing as they would if their child died.

Also I think it's rather silly that people try to say that they were a couple. Just because Pearl was into her doesn't mean Rose shared those feelings. It was probably a huge crush and was unrequited.
