I think you are referring to the "War of the Roses" fought for the throne of England between 1455 and 1485. The was was 30 years long. It started when Henry VI went insane and the Yorks had a claim to the throne, so instead of having a mad king on the throne. They thought we can take the throne and that's what they tried to do! So the War of the Roses is the war of that.The House of Tudor came out ahead, and as a result, ruled the country for 116 years.
Both houses in the War of the Roses had a rose as their family crest; for the Lancasters it was a red rose, for the Yorks it was a white rose. Their combined family, the Tudors, had a white rose within a red rose.

The Wars of the Roses. Red for the House of Lancaster and White for the House of York

The House Of Lancaster (Red Rose) & The House Of York (White Rose).
Neither. The roses (white and red) which symbolized the Lancasters and Yorks in the war of the roses were united when Henry VII took the throne, which united the two dynasties.
