Sorry to correct you, but as the history scholar in the family I feel it's my duty to say - it's the White Rose of the house of YORK not Lancaster - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_York, as in Elizabeth of York who married Henry Tudor (who later became Henry VII - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Rose_of_Lancaster). Their marriage merged the two into the Tudor Rose, and ended the War of the Roses (1455–1487). You could be upsetting a lot of Yorkshiremen & women by handing their rose over to Lancashire!
