Reply:There isn't a national flower of the UK. As the other answerer wrote the flower of England is the Rose, but in the other parts of the UK the national flowers are:





Scotland: Thistle (link here: http://www.scotlandsource.com/about/ctva... )





Wales: Daffodil (or Leek)


Ireland (northern): Shamrock





United Kingdom is simply a term that applies to the Union of the above 4 countries.





Wannabee....sorry England is not the UK, even though you were correct about its national flower.

Reply:England - St. George and the Rose:


The national flower of England is the rose. The flower has been adopted as England’s emblem since the time of the Wars of the Roses - civil wars (1455-1485) between the royal house of Lancaster (whose emblem was a red rose) and the royal house of York (whose emblem was a white rose).
