Answer:
The origin of the rosebush was that it grew from the exact spot where Anne Hutchinson had entered the prison after she had been tried and excommunicated for her decision in criticizing the authority of the Puritanical society.
This rosebush an be taken as a symbol for the beauty, carefree yet enduring resilience of the plant against the surrounding nature and its forces.
Explanation:
Nathaniel Hawthorne claims that some people believe the rose bush at the entrance of the prison doors sprang "<em>up under the footsteps of the sainted Ann Hutchinson, as she entered the prison-door</em>". Anne Hutchinson had questioned the authority of the puritanical society of her time in Massachusetts bay Colony. She had also questioned the status of women in the society, blaming it for their submissive nature. She wants women to have the same right as men and also criticized the religious leaders of taking advantage of their power to be authority over all matters.
The wild rosebush in "The Scarlet Letter" symbolizes the nature side of humanity. Hester Prynne's demoralizing character after being convicted of adultery was supposed to make her life a never ending humiliating life. But the wild and beautiful rosebush, which was strong and enduring shows the free, beautiful and carefree nature that is in stark contrast with the sad, punishing reality of her life. It represents the possibility of life even within the confines of the 'supposed' realm of the society.

Answer:
1. The author hasn't told us the real reason of why Laura died. She has told us about their housemaid, Reenie, but we do not know how that is connected to Laura's death. Also, the author says that Laura might have her "reasons", but doesn't even tell us indirectly what those reason might be...
2. Two possible answers
- Laura's notebooks are her childhood diaries/a record of a secret relationship/a novel
OR
- Iris feels responsible for her sisters death/never loved her husband
Explanation for the 2nd one:
- The author remembers Reenie (maybe while reading one of Laura's diaries) and she also feels the need to tell Richard, her husband. But why does she feel the need to tell Richard? Maybe because Richard may have been in love with Laura, and because something went wrong (something didn't or couldn't work out) they have split up and Richard married Iris. Or maybe Iris felt some kind of anger towards Laura and that's why she married Richard (we don't quite know). And Laura may have been furious of Richard's or Iris' decision so much that she decided to kill herself (or did she? We don't know 'cause it's the first chapter). And that might be the reason Iris might have felt the need to inform Richard about Laura's death - because she thinks (or maybe knows feels) that Richard doesn't love her, he still loves Laura and that because they got married that, somehow may associate on the reason of Laura's death.
