I do know the format, however, and it is short and sweet. Similar to haiku, the trilinea is three unrhymed lines, leading me to believe that haiku was its basis. Its syllable count is slightly different at 4-8-4, for a total of sixteen. One large caveat: the word "rose" must be placed within the poem.
Other than that, I can find no other requirements, so theme and title are at the poet's discretion; though including "rose" may dictate the subject somewhat. I have seen the word used as a color, a flower, an action and even a name, as well as the plural form, so evidently one can be creative with this rule.
Here's my examples:
Exuberance
Free from scissors
and indoor vase, wild roses bare
exuberance!
Optimism
My rose-colored
mind prevents me from seeing you
as bad for me.
