ROSE: The
bearer of good tidings.
The Christians adopted the Rose
as a symbol of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and hence became a symbol of
motherhood and purity. Could also represent the mother
of Jesus' children, Mary Magdalene. When shown
stalked and leaved it has the added symbolism of protection because of
the
thorns. The Rose is the emblem of England
and still the two counties (Yorkshire and
Lancashire) replay the Wars
of the Roses on the cricket field each English summer.
In heraldry, the Rose is used as a mark of distinction for the seventh son, degree, house, level, etc. The Red Rose is one of the badges used for the House of Lancaster and is mentioned severally in the early days of heraldry in the reigns of Henry IV and Henry V. The Rose can be shown as a heraldic rose or as a natural rose; symbol of providence, divination, love, beauty, purity and passion.
