Red roses had many different meanings in the Middle Ages . For example, red roses were often associated with the Virgin Mary.

However, probably the most familiar in English History was as the emblem of the House of Lancaster, which was one of two houses that battled for the throne of England during the so-called Wars of the Roses (the rival house was the House of York, represented by a white rose).
