Both are about a kind of homosexual realtionships, and both are set in somewhere in Europe, in the XIX century, or similar.... In general, the aesthetics is similar.

While the main theme of these two series is considerably different they both take place in Pre-Industrial France and cover their respective time periods with some historical accuracy. In both there is the theme of social injustice and the scars it leaves on people. There is plenty of drama in these series and the artwork invokes an old school ambience that is very similar. Furthermore, both deal with forbidden loves; Rose of Versailles deals with class differences while Song deals with the growing romantic attachment between two boys. These are bittersweet anime through and through. RoV focuses both on political aspects as well as individual conflicts with plenty of history, and Song deals almost exclusively with the tortuous relationship between the two main characters in a very slow paced and poignant manner.

Shounen-ai romance with rather old fashion character designs ensures a firm kinship between these two titles. Both deal with coming to terms with same gender affection. Song is considerably darker and extremely heavy on melodrama to the point of being painful to watch, while Lesson XX is more focused on the romantic aspect; but they are both prime examples of old yaoi and probably share the same fan base.
