The National Floral Emblem of U.S.A.
In the fall of 1986, President Reagan and
Congress signed legislation that proclaimed the rose
the National Floral Emblem. This is a fitting title
for a flower that has been growing in the country
for about 40 million years and is undoubtedly the
most recognizable flower in the world. In several
opinion polls conducted in the United States, over
85% of the respondents chose the rose as their
number one choice of flower.
