The term York rose primarily refers to two distinct entities: the historic White Rose of York and the specific City of York rose cultivar.
The White Rose of York is a heraldic badge adopted in the 14th century by Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York, representing the royal House of York. It symbolized purity and was later used by the Jacobites in the late 17th century. In modern times, it serves as the iconic symbol of Yorkshire, appearing on the county flag and adopted for Yorkshire Day (August 1) following the Battle of Minden in 1759.
The City of York Rose (Rosa 'City of York') is a popular climbing/rambling rose variety introduced in 1945 by breeder Tantau. It features semi-double creamy-white flowers with bright yellow stamens and a strong lemon fragrance. This repeat-flowering rose grows up to 4.5m x 3m and is noted for its excellent disease resistance and ability to thrive in various conditions, including north-facing walls.
Whatever your thoughts, this is a beautiful sterling silver charm.
