[quote=GUEST25140,283625]:Rose is the national flower of GB? I thought it was the national flower of US. Really confused No, it's the national flower of *England*. The other countries in Great Britain have their own national flowers. As Apault's reply says (except he's got his red and white the wrong way round...), it's been the national flower for over 500 years. The heraldic English Rose is the tudor rose, usually with a red outer and white inner, but the other way round if necessary to follow heraldic rules on colour placement. The US adopted the rose as its flower as well a few years ago. Candle in the Wind might mention "England's rose" but it's still sentimentalising drivel[/quote]
