Line 9:
An English Rose is often composed and dignified in any social setting. A major characteristic is her humility in terms of family and society. Her will can be iron-hard, [[Silk Hiding Steel|while subservient to her husband]], if she has one. Before marriage tends be a [[Spirited Young Lady|more spirited version]], but doesn't necessarily lose that spirit after marriage. In fact, one of the charms of the English Rose may be her ability to maintain decorum and pleasure regardless of any trouble.
While English Rose is '''not defined by a specific look''', it does have a set of associated
* her figure, beauty, dress, and manners are modest and conservative rather than provocative or sexy
Line 36:
* In [[The Royal Diaries]] book ''Elizabeth I: Red Rose of the House of Tudor'' Henry VIII of England got angry at Prince Edward for being lazy while the girls worked on the rose bushes. Elizabeth was quick to respectfully tell her father that she thinks that Edward's humors were out of balance. For that the king tenderly told the princess that she was the true Tudor rose.
* There's Juliet from [[Romeo and Juliet]] of the dignified house of Capulet. She is a headstrong and intelligent character in spite of her young age. She wants to obey her parents until she meets Romeo and commits herself to him.
*Pam on [[The Winds of War and War and Remembrance]] is this as well as being an [[Intrepid Reporter]], and [[Lady of War]] in both the books and the miniseries. She is the [[Betty and Veronica|Veronica]] of the romance angle of the story. She is not a [[Proper Lady]] in all respects, for she claims to not be very moral and in the strictly sexual sense that is true. But she is loyal to her father and country, patriotic, and has a clear idea of who [[Those Wacky Nazis|the bad guys]] were in her time when some people were naive, fearful, or opportunistic. Which gives her an edge up on other categories of morality. In any case she is charming and attractive and, well, ladylike.
