Created by Henry VII to combine the white rose of the House of York and the red rose of the House of Lancaster, representing the union of the two warring houses, the Tudor rose is the national emblem of England, symbolising peace, unity, and the end of the 15th-century "Wars of the Roses". The rose appears in English literature, art, and as a royal symbol, embodying the resilience of the English nation during challenging times _ like now! The rose stays!

Hmmm.... well I am not going to the flower shop every time I want to make this. I guess I'll change the garnish to something else - maybe lime or orange peel - and call the drink something else. Problem solved, I guess.

I like it. Made it multiple times. Good alternative to the Blue Riband, and that is a classic. My only gripe is the rose petal garnish. WTF!!? That is where you lost me. Really stupid. Rose petal!!? Please change that.
