The English rose has been a symbol of something for so long that the something has changed four times without anyone notifying the rose. We made it jade green. The centuries of accumulated symbolism did not survive the color. The rose survived completely and looked better and has not commented on any of this, which we find either very healthy or very English. The Jade Green English Rose is 4.25 inches across, one screw, no water. Jade green is warm, slightly translucent in quality, with depth that reads differently up close than from across the room.
