Not in ruddy Yorkshire, it's not.

That filthy, disgusting Lancastrian red rose of the usurping Tudor, false king Henry VIII, regicide and pervertor of the reputation of the righteous Plantagenet king, Richard III of York, is nothing to do with England, just a pretender's symbol.
Even he knew his claim to the throne was nothing so he made a marriage of convenience with Elizabeth of York in order to legitimise his usurping of the crown, then changed his nasty little red rose to a Tudor rose, red upon white, in order to appear something he was not.

Anyway, Simon, dear chap, the Tudor rose, the new symbol of the most corrupt dynasty in English royalty (and they had some stiff competition), is a notable symbol of England, not the red, manure grown one you mentioned.
