- Synopsis
- In the Temple gardens the scent of roses was everywhere. They had been well tended and grew in profusion on either side of the path. The gardener had arranged them so that red were on one side, white on the other. Warwick approached Somerset and there was no mistaking the hostility in his eyes. As they argued, people began to gather round sensing a growing excitement, a quarrel between two of the mightiest nobles in the country. Somerset was seething with rage. He moved away and plucking one of the red roses, the symbol of the House of Lancaster since the days of Edmund, Earl of Lancaster and brother of Edward the First, he cried out: "I pluck this red rose. The red rose of Lancaster. I am for Lancaster and the King." Warwick turned away and immediately picked a white rose--the symbol of York--the white rose worn by the Black Prince himself. He held the rose on high. "I pluck this white rose," he said. "The white rose of York. Let every man among us choose his rose. Let him declare himself with these fair flowers. Then shall we know how we stand together."
