England - St. George and the Rose
The national flower of England is the rose. The flower has been adopted as England’s emblem since the time of the Wars of the Roses - civil wars (1455-1485) between the royal house of Lancaster (whose emblem was a red rose) and the royal house of York (whose emblem was a white rose).

Scotland - St. Andrew and the Scottish Bluebell
The national flower of Scotland is commonly thought to be the thistle, a prickly-leaved purple flower which was first used in the 15th century as a symbol of defence. However, the national flower is infact the Scottish bluebell.

Wales - St. David and the Daffodil
The national flower of Wales is the daffodil, which is traditionally worn on St. David’s Day. The vegetable called leek is also considered to be a traditional emblem of Wales.

Northern Ireland - St. Patrick and the Shamrock
The national flower of Northern Ireland is the shamrock, a three-leaved plant similar to clover.
