The Tudor Rose

The Tudor Rose is a symbolic emblem combining the red rose of Lancaster and the white rose of York, representing the unification of these two royal houses in England. This merger, symbolized by the rose, marked the end of the Wars of the Roses—a series of civil conflicts in the late 15th century. The Tudor Rose became a national symbol of peace and unity, famously associated with the Tudor dynasty, including monarchs like Henry VII. Its design reflects reconciliation and the forging of a stronger, unified England after a period of conflict.
