York and Lancaster We must no longer believe that splendid quarrel scene between Richard Plantagenet and the Earl of Somerset in the Temple Garden in Henry VI Part I, when red roses and white were torn from their bushes to serve as badges for the opposing armies of Lancaster and York... it is not history. According to Norman Young, the white rose was the Yorkist badge fifty years before that scene, and the Red Rose of Lancaster was older still by a hundred years. ut after the Wars of the Roses ended, the Red Rose of Lancaster and the White Rose of York were finally combined in the symbolic red and white Tudor rose.

York and Lancaster Flowers: loosely double, 1 1/2- to 2 1/2-inch, white and light pink petals, sometimes all one color or the other, and sometimes mixed in variegated splotches, in clusters. Arching plants from 5 or more feet high. This rose, which has been confused with 'Rosa Mundi', was named to commemorate the end of the Wars of the Roses (1455-1485), although it is not the same rose whose discovery supposedly inspired the truce.
