Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

England doesn't really have a national flower. The Tudor Rose is a heraldic creation to symbolise the fusion of the House of York and House of Lancaster after the wars of the roses, and the formation of the House of Tudor.
The two houses used white and red roses as symbols, and the Tudor rose was created as a mixed red and white rose which does not exist.
A real rose for England is otherwise a loose thing, not an official symbol.
And they've highlighted the whole of the UK for "England". Scotland has the thistle, Wales has the daffodil and Wikipedia says that flax is widely used as a symbol of Northern Ireland.
I think of England's rose as red, because of the rugby.
The thisle and daffodil are shown further down on the infographic, where they break out wales and scotland from the giant england
Oh, you're right - somehow I missed seeing the entire bottom third of the image.
