Best Answer

The heraldic white rose which is used as the badge of Yorkshire can be displayed with either a petal or a leaf at the top. Generally the Yorkshire rose is displayed with a petal at the top. There is a tradition, however, that the white rose in the East Riding is displayed with a pleaf at the top. This is the same orientation as the red rose of Lancashire. It is not known why the East riding rose is displayed differently but it may have its oridin in the wars of the roses. Roger Sewell.

How is the red rose of Lancashire different to the white rose of Yorkshire?

Apart from the colour , the green points (5) around the circumferance are positioned differently, i.e. red rose of Lancaster a single point is at the top, on the white rose of Yorkshire the single point is at the bottom. this so that when the two roses came together to form the Tuder rose there were 10 equally spaced points around the circumferance Answer The Red Rose of Lancaster is Rosa Gallica. The White Rose of York is Rosa alba.
