Can countable nouns be used without adding "a", 'an", or "the"?

I am wondering if we can use countable nouns without adding "a", "an", or 'the"?
For example, if I want to say "I love roses", I found the following sentence using Google:
1: My favorite flower is rose.
2: My favorite flower is a rose.
3: My favorite flower is the rose.
4: My favorite flower is roses.

I want to know which one is correct. Thanks.
