The wild rose is for Alberta, but it doesn't look like a traditional rose anyway. In fact, I've always thought it was a really dumb name for the flower. Has NOTHING in common with roses.
Ya I just thought "Wild Rose Country" and all that. It just struck me as something I might be missing - like how people miss what the Wild logo is, or that Amazon has an arrow from A to Z etc.

After googling what a wild rose actually looks like - ya, obviously I'm wrong lol.
