Rosa gallica officinalis
(Redirected from English Rose)
The Tudor Rose, Union Rose, Gallic Rose, or English Rose (Rosa gallica officinalis) - is the Official “National flower of England” respectively. The emblematic War of the Roses between the Royal house of Lancaster (Red rose sigil) and the Royal house of York (White rose sigil), marked the adoption of the flower as a national symbol. Ultimately it was the Red that won out to this day. It is a parent of several important cultivars. Within the Constituent British Isles it is the National floral emblem of England.
