[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 3393848, member: 29"]That isn't a Tudor rose either. It has six petals. A Tudor rose has five. The "rose" on that sideboard, of course, not only has the wrong number of petals, it's a double layer bloom which isn't even a rose. And the sideboard is Dutch, in any event. Amazon is not an authoritative source. That company also imports stuff from China. As to travelling the world, I've done a fair bit of that. But I'd not dream of telling someone in another nation that they were wrong about a rather important national symbol from their own country. The Tudor rose is the symbol of England.
