Ring-around-the-roses is, as mentioned in the OP, a nursery rhyme. It is also a common children's game, at least in the US. The exact words vary, as is true of all playground rhymes, but this is the version with which I'm most familiar.

The pink roses that float by Ophelia's cheek and her dress and the white field roses growing on the river bank may refer to Act IV, Scene V when Laertes calls his sister, 'rose of May'. They are also included for their many symbolic meanings such as youth, love and beauty.
