"The White Rose: A Symbol of Beauty, Power, and Conflict" In 1907, amidst a heated quarrel with fellow players, the Queen's attention was caught by the timeless tale of Shakespeare's "King Henry VI" and its depiction of the Picking of the Red and White Roses. This iconic scene, illustrated by John Ogborne in 1795 and reissued in 1852, showcased the significance of these two flowers. The white rose, scientifically known as Rosa bifera alba, emerged as a prominent symbol during this period. Its delicate petals embodied purity and innocence while contrasting with its counterpart - the red rose - which represented passion and love. The Duke of York's yacht aptly named "White Rose, " captured both elegance and strength through a captivating black-and-white photograph. However, history reveals that roses were not always associated with tranquility. The Battle of Bosworth Field unfolded like a dramatic scene from an epic play where lives were lost for power and glory. Tacuinum Sanitatis' vellum manuscript from c. 1390-1400 depicted roses on folio 83; their beauty juxtaposed against tales of war reminded us that even amidst chaos, nature prevailed. Different varieties added depth to this floral narrative – Rosa clynophylla brought forth visions of gracefulness while Rosa alba flore pleno stood out for its enchanting engravings dating back to 1817. Holly intertwined with Christmas Roses painted on paper evoked feelings of joy during festive times. Returning to our earlier story about the Queen's quarrelsome encounter with the Knave – it seems she sought solace in art deco perfume labeled eau de rose featuring an image showcasing both red and white roses united together in harmony. Lastly, we are transported back to Jacobite times through an oil painting capturing a portrait of a Lady adorned with Jacobite symbols including none other than a white rose.
