This stylized emblem features five red outer petals layered over five white inner petals (often rendered as red with yellow center in modern depictions), surrounding a cluster of golden stamens, all backed by green leaves. It was adopted by Henry VII in 1485 to symbolize the end of the Wars of the Roses and the merging of the rival houses of Lancaster and York.
