Henry IV ruled the country without incident until he died in 1413. His son, Henry succeeded to the throne without opposition. Henry V was a popular, strong king and ruled without problem. Unfortunately he died unexpectedly in 1422 and his son, Henry was just nine months old. Henry V’s brothers acted as regents for the infant King Henry VI. King Henry VI Henry VI’s mental instability

In total, the Tudor monarchs ruled their domains for 117 years. Henry VIII ( r.1509–1547) was the only son of Henry VII to live to the age of maturity, and he proved a dominant ruler. Issues around royal succession (including marriage and the succession rights of women) became major political themes during the Tudor era, as did the English Reformation in religion, impacting the future of the Crown. Elizabeth I was the longest serving Tudor monarch at 44 years, and her reign known as the Elizabethan Era provided a period of stability after the short, troubled reigns of her siblings. When Elizabeth I died childless, her cousin of the Scottish House of Stuart succeeded her, in the Union of the Crowns of 24 March 1603. The first Stuart to become King of England ( r.1603–1625), James VI and I, was a great-grandson of Henry VII's daughter Margaret Tudor, who in 1503 had married James IV of Scotland in accordance with the 1502 Treaty of Perpetual Peace. If Henry VIII were to leap forward to the 21st century via that same time warp, and visit my garden in Worcestershire, he would be amazed at the variety of new flowers that I grow. But he would be equally surprised, and, I hope pleased, to find that there are many roses from Tudor England that I still grow – including those of York and Lancaster. I do so not for historic interest (though that adds to their charm) but because they’re well worth growing. These roses from the 16th Century are worthy rivals of any rose bred since. We continue to grow them for their form, their colour, their scent, their good health, their ease of maintenance, their historic associations, but - above all - for their beauty.

The heraldic badge of the Royal Navy's current flagship aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth uses a Tudor rose with colours divided vertically ( per pale), inheriting the heraldry of the early twentieth century super-dreadnought oil-fired fast battleship HMS Queen Elizabeth. The Tudor rose makes up part of the cap badge of the Intelligence Corps of the British Army. The Tudor rose is used as the emblem of The Nautical Training Corps, a uniformed youth organisation founded in Brighton in 1944 with 20 units in South East England. The corps badge has the Tudor Rose on the shank of an anchor with the motto "For God, Queen and Country". It is also used as part of the Corps' cap badge. a b c d e Thomas Jones Pierce (1959).

When King Edward III died in 1377, he was succeeded by his grandson, Richard II. Although the beginning of his reign had been marked by hope and prosperity, Richard grew increasingly unpopular. In 1399 he was deposed by his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, who ruled as Henry IV. The new King was the son of John of Gaunt, the Duke of Lancaster and the third son of the late King Edward. Henry Tudor had, however, something that the others did not. He had an army which defeated the last Yorkist king, Richard III, in the field of battle and the support of powerful nobles to take the crown by right of conquest. Richard III's accession to the throne had proved controversial, even among the Yorkists.Yorkists – Around 5,000 men led by Richard Earl of Salisbury supported by Sir John Neville and Thomas Neville. Elizabeth was interviewed by one of Edward's advisers, and she was eventually found not to be guilty, despite forced confessions from her servants Kat Ashley and Sir Thomas Parry. Thomas Seymour was beheaded on 20 March 1549. The Tudors descended from King Edward III on Henry VII's mother's side from John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset, one of the illegitimate children of the 14th century English prince John of Gaunt, the third surviving son of Edward III. Beaufort's mother was Gaunt's long-term mistress, Katherine Swynford.

So, here are half a dozen roses that Henry may have grown, all of which you should definitely have in your garden: Henry died on 28 January 1547. His will had reinstated his daughters by his annulled marriages to Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn to the line of succession. Edward, his nine-year-old son by Jane Seymour, succeeded as Edward VI of England.
