The rose was chosen as America's national flower because it has long symbolized beauty, love, courage, devotion, and resilience. More than that, the rose grows successfully in all 50 states, making it a rare symbol that represents the entire nation, not just one region.
In 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation officially designating the rose as the National Floral Emblem of the United States.
