Its the National Flower of England

The rose was adopted as England's emblem around the time of the War of the Roses - civil wars (1455-1485) between the royal house of Lancaster (whose emblem was a red rose) and the royal house of York (whose emblem was a white rose). King Richard III and the Yorkists were defeated at Bosworth on 22 August 1485 by the future Henry VII.

The two roses were combined to make the Tudor rose (a red rose with a white centre) by Henry VII when he married Elizabeth of York
