The description has a cultural reference to the national flower of England, the rose,[1] and to its long tradition within English symbolism. Use in fiction{{see also|c:Category:16th-century portrait paintings of women {{!}} 16th-century portrait paintings of women (category)|1900–09 in fashion}}The term "English rose" is found in Merrie England (1902), a comic opera written by Basil Hood. He describes a garden where 'women are the flowers' and in which 'the sweetest blossom' or 'fairest queen' is 'the perfect English rose'.[2] The words are performed by a tenor in the role of Sir Walter Raleigh (1554–1618), in the presence of a May Queen, but regarding his secret love (purely within the opera), a member of the household of Elizabeth I. 'Last of the English Roses' is a song by singer/songwriter Pete Doherty from his album Grace/Wastelands. At the Funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997, Elton John performed a new version of his 1974 hit, Candle in the Wind, which began with the adapted lyrics, "Goodbye England's rose...".
