No.

It's just a story. Most stories and legends in Witcher are, at best, rooted in a tiny grain of truth. Most of them are simply nonsense. There is no reason to believe that the rose legend had any more truth to it than vampires disintigrating in sunlight. It was just an excuse to give you a romantic moment between Geralt and Triss if you so choose in TW2.

CDPR writes differently than Sapkowski, in a different format, and with a different goal. In the books, Yen is his canon love. In the games, there is no canon and the player is free to choose. Yen is not more valid than Triss.
