Exactly! Both rose (the flower or its petals) and bay laurel (the tree or its leaves) have long been associated with victory and with the creative arts. In such context, rose is usually represented as a flower or wreath of flowers; bay as a sprig of leaves, wreath, or crown of leaves.
If you search "laurel wreath" you can see lots of sample images. It often appears as a sort of horseshoe shape with the open end up. Two possible ways to combine that sort of image with a rose would be to put a single flower in the open space at the top of the bay laurel wreath, or to put a rose on its leafy stem in the center space framed by the bay laurel wreath.
A different approach could draw on the fact that bay is sometimes presented as a branch along with some other type of plant. Here's an example of bay laurel and oak: http://www.nemzetijelkepek.hu/onkormanyzat-abony_en.shtml
Those are just a few ideas; others are surely possible, so by all means explore your own. It might be worthwhile to doodle around a bit and see what looks promising on paper.
