During the fifteenth century, the rose was used as a symbol for the factions fighting to control England. The white rose symbolized York, and the red rose symbolized Lancaster, as a result, the conflict became known as the "War of the Roses."

A white rose symbolizes purity, innocence, silence, secrecy, reverence, humility, and youthfulness, while red roses symbolizes love, beauty, courage and respect, passion and unconscious beauty.
