The Tudor rose (sometimes called the Union Rose) is the traditional floral heraldic emblem of England. 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 (whose badge was a red rose) and the House of York (whose badge was a white rose). His father was Edmund Tudor from the House of Richmond, and his mother was Margaret Beaufort from the House of Lancaster; he married Elizabeth of York to bring all factions together. On his marriage, Henry adopted the Tudor Rose badge conjoining the White Rose of York and the Red Rose of Lancaster. The Tudor Rose is occasionally seen divided in quarters (heraldically as 'quartered') and vertically (in heraldic terms per pale) red and white. More often, the Tudor Rose is depicted as a double rose, white on red and is always described, heraldically, as 'proper'. It's a very symbolic emblem of English history.

What is Tudor rose significance?

The Tudor Rose signifies the union of the two previously waring houses of York and Lancaster. One house sported the Red Rose (Lancaster) as its emblem and the other the White Rose (York). When Henry Tudor (of Lancaster) came to the throne as Henry VII, he married Elizabeth of York and merged the two roses (and the dynastic houses) into one and it became an important heraldic badge during the Tudor era that is still used to this day. The crowned Tudor Rose (white within the red) with a stalk and leaves is the Royal Badge of England and the uncrowned version is the proclaimed Floral Emblem of England.
