Well, obviously the Rose! I can't imagine why it isn't in the original 12! Thistle for Scotland, shamrock for Ireland, daffodil or leek for Wales and rose for England - I thought everybody knew that.

The wild rose is a flower and a type of feminine beauty, both famous throughout the world as classic symbols of the English. Poems have been written about both, paintings painted, songs sung. They suggest the ideal of grace, gentleness and loveliness.

The rose is the quintessential flower of England, reminiscent of sunny June days, the delicate fragrance hanging over the freshly manicured lawn.

The red rose had been an English emblem for many years, before it slipped into the hands of political parties.

It is a metaphor for love and beauty, a symbol of our national obsession with gardening, a source of literary and poetic inspiration and is quintissentially English.
