EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the year 1455, where a simple act of picking roses in the Temple gardens of London sparked a legend that would go down in British history. In this print by Mary Evans Picture Library, we see the Duke of York reaching for a delicate white rose, while the Duke of Lancaster opts for a vibrant red bloom. Little did they know that their color preferences would ignite one of the nastiest wars in England's past.
The War of Roses, as it came to be known, was born from this seemingly innocent moment captured on film. The rivalry between these two powerful dukes escalated into a bloody conflict that lasted for decades and shaped the course of English history.
As you gaze at this stunning image, you can almost feel the tension between these two men as they make their choices. The beauty of the roses belies the ugliness of war that followed. It serves as a reminder that even something as pretty as flowers can have dark consequences when mixed with power and ambition.
So next time you stop to smell the roses, remember this legendary tale and how it all began with just a simple pick in an English garden.
