La Rosa de Guadalupe (English language: Guadalupe's Rose or The Rose of Guadalupe) is a Mexican anthology drama television series created by Carlos Mercado Orduña and produced by Miguel Ángel Herros for Televisa. The series is allusive to the Catholic religion, specifically to the Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. It is set in modern times mostly in Mexico City, but the location may vary in some episodes. It premiered on February 5, 2008. As of 2017, the actress Helena Rojo is the presenter of each episode.
Plot
There are two types of beginnings for the episodes: a regular one, which begins with a happy start, or the main scene where something awful has happened to the main character. If the latter choice were to happen, the credits depicting who edited, starred, and directed the episode come out during the second scene.
Some of these people, being devout to the Virgin of Guadalupe, asks her to protect that person. At the same time, a white rose appears before an altar or statue of the Virgin that belongs to the person who prayed or is in trouble and remains there during the development of the story, which is usually when the problem is compounded. The appearing of the rose means that the petition has been heard by the Virgin.
At the climax of the story, which is the time where the main character is in a serious situation, the closest person "asked" intercedes for him and tries to help. When the issue is resolved, the main character is "fondled" by a wind that represents the act of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and at the end of the episode, the white rose disappears as one character narrates the message of the episode.

Reception
The show has been panned by Mexican viewers and critics for its lack of proper acting, writing, and directing. Some talk shows have criticized the corny effects and acting as well as the lack of research for episodes dealing with certain social groups or issues such as bullying, family problems, and even sexual abuse.
It is considered the most controversial series Televisa has transmitted throughout Latin America, criticized since it began to be broadcast.[4] It consistently portrays children and adolescents as the antagonists.
It is generally criticized for presenting an exaggerated reality about Catholics, in addition to casting young actors with poor performances.[5] Nonetheless, controversy has brought an amount of attention to the series and created a cult following within the Internet that see it as a source of involuntary comedy.
Websites
"La rosa de Guadalupe" has been a mockery in social networks like Facebook, where they often make memes that make fun of the episodes and their characters, also YouTube users have mocked the episodes and even performing parodies. Within the same Televisa, several comedians have also made fun of the series, within sketches of different comedy programs.
Rivalry
In 2009 a similar program A cada quien su santo began airing on TV Azteca, during an hour a case in some region of the country is presented praising the faith of a particular saint, while in Televisa are narrative cases about miracles performed by the Virgin of Guadalupe.
