TUDOR ROSE


The White Rose of York and the Red Rose of Lancaster were the emblems of the two Royal houses who both claimed the right to the Throne of England. After many years, the 'War of the Roses' ended when Henry Tudor VII of Lancaster married Princess Elizabeth of York. The symbol of the new era was the Tudor Rose combining the White Rose of York with the Red Rose of Lancaster.
