Tudor Rose Talisman Intentions A candle for fertilityThe British dynasty of the Tudors was symbolized by the Tudor Rose. The rose became truly "Royal" during the English Civil War; The War of the Roses (1455 1485). The winner, Tudor Henry VII, merged his Lancastrian White rose with the Red rose of his York bride creating the Tudor Rose, [the petals of a red rose enfolding the petals of a white rose.] This "Rose of England" symbolized Unity and Respect and was worn as a symbol of Loyalty and Allegiance.
