From a 1923 edition of “The Book of Knowledge, The Children’s Encyclopedia”, Volume III:
”The Wars That Began in a Rose Garden“
The Wars of the Roses were one long struggle between the princely Houses of York and Lancaster, both struggling for the crown of England. One day, in the Temple Gardens, in London, the heads of the rival Houses met. The Duke of York plucked a white rose, calling upon his followers to do the same. The Duke of Lancaster, boldly fronting him, plucked a red rose; and so the Wars of the Roses got their name.”

The War of the Roses. Or sometimes the Wars of the Roses.
In the 15th century, the Wars of the Roses were not referred to by that name; the term was coined later in the 19th century. During the conflict, it was simply known as a series of civil wars for the English throne, primarily between the rival houses of Lancaster and York. The wars were characterized by political instability, power struggles, and shifting alliances as both factions vied for control of the monarchy.
