We already know the origin and reasons for colours but my son has been asked to find out why it has the shape that it does.

It dates from a time before roses were bred for gardens (today's tea roses and standard roses), so it resembles a wild rose in shape.

When Henry Tudor took the crown of England from Richard III in battle, he brought about the end of the Wars of the Roses between the House of Lancaster (Red Rose) and the House of York (White Rose). His father was Edmund Tudor from the House of Richmond, His mother was Margaret Beaufort from the House of Lancaster; he married Elizabeth of York to bring all together.



In so doing he created the Tudor rose, conjoining the White Rose of York and the Red Rose of Lancaster. In heraldry, the rose is depicted as white on red if placed on a field of a metal (gold or silver), or red on white if placed on a field of a colour, due to the rule of tincture.

diverse. The Hundred Years conflict replaced right into a conflict for the French throne between the royal residing house of Valois and the royal residing house of Plantagenet (England). It lasted from 1337 to 1453. The Wars of the Roses (called of their very own time the Wars of the Cousins) replaced into an English civil conflict between the two properties of York and Lancaster for the English throne. It occurred type of from 1455 to 1487, besides the reality that there replaced into combating in the past and after.

If you look at a wild rose otherwise known as a Dog rose the shape is very similar before the fancy roses we know today

Each petal of the Tudor Rose represents the different names of each of the houses (royalty) that support the House of Tudor.
