Here's some more "priceless" information for you

The Tudor rose, which is known more commonly as the red rose, is the national flower of England. Whilst the red rose is, therefore, used in various ways to represent England, it is in fact the traditional flower of Lancashire.
 
Indeed, the red rose of Lancashire was adopted by the First Earl of Lancaster and used as an official emblem after the Battle of Bosworth Field, which occurred in 1485.
 
(She introduced me to Bosworth back in 2009, YAWN!!!!)

But I digress, moving on, the Battle of Bosworth was the penultimate round of the war that lasted some 32 years, effectively ripping England apart.
 
Bringing you up to speed: - in case you are unawares -
 
The red rose of the House of Lancaster was pitted against the white rose of the House of York in a war that would - by it's finality - signal the end of the Middle Ages in England.
 
Therefore, some historians consider the War of the Roses to be a highly significant "English" war in terms of its political importance and that it marked the end to one of the darkest periods in the country's history.
 
So now then, the red rose of England is regarded as a symbol of hope, prosperity and unity (as the Tudor rose comprises both the red and white roses of the civil war).

And thus now, whether you wanted to know or not (and again, I highly doubt you did) you know - but only if you are still reading to this point -
 
She's really going to miss her roses, me, doubt it
