The red rose is the national symbol of England due to its connection with English history and the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century. During this war, the House of Lancaster used the red rose as their emblem while fighting against the House of York, whose emblem was the white rose. Eventually, the rivalry ended when Henry VII of Lancaster married Elizabeth of York, uniting the houses and establishing the Tudor dynasty with their combined red and white rose emblem.
