What does the Jacobite flag look like?

The Jacobite flag was and still is a white rose on a red background, the Jacobite rose can be seen on many Jacobite gravestones and is not unlike the white rose of York, The North East of Scotland, Banff and Buchan and Moray in Particular retains its Jacobite history and many Jacobite flags can be seen flying to this day. I disagree. The White Rose (White Cockade) on the red background is the National Trust for Scotland's flag to depict the Jacobite lines at Culloden the Hanoverian lines have a Black Cockade on a yellow background. The Jacobite flag i.e. the Princes Standard was a white box on a red background surrounded by a blue border.The White Rose or White Cockade as it was known was the emblem of the Jacobites and supporters wore a piece of white cloth in the shape of a white rose in their bonnets or costumes. Most of the Jacobite regimental flags were destroyed by Cumberlands orders where they were taken to Edinburgh and burnt by the Hangman.On flag that does survive is in Dundee Museum (Lord Ogalvie's Regiment from the Angus area of Scotland).
