Royal Houses Rose emblem

[Bluebell]

Which 3 Royal Houses of England used a rose as their main symbol? I can think of Lancaster=Red Rose, House of York = White Rose, but I'm stuck on the third, and would be grateful for any help. Many thanks.

Tudors? (as in Tudor Rose)

Thank you sddsddean, but is that the same red rose used for the House of Lancaster later the Tudor House? I'm very stuck!!

The Tudor Rose is an amalgamation of the White Rose of York and the Red Rose of Lancaster.

When Henry Tudor took the crown of England from Richard III in battle, he brought about the end of the Wars of the Roses between the House of Lancaster (Red Rose) and the House of York (White Rose). His mother was Margaret Beaufort from the House of Lancaster and he married Elizabeth of York.

Thank you kempie. I realise now that the Tudor rose is the amalgam of the other two roses. Now I'm going to be cheeky...do you know what Nelson's three batt;les the stripes on a sailor's collar are claimed to represent? lOne is certainly Trafalgar, One is the Battle of the Nile, but is the third the Cape of St Vincent's or the Battle of Copenhagen?

Thank you soooo much! I've got a couple more historical questions, but will try finding out the information before I have to resort asking you again. You really have been a great help.
