The Red Rose flag is named from the message of a favorite Christian hymn:
"O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to hide from Thee; I lay in dust life's glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red, Life that shall endless be."
[From the fourth verse of the Traditional Hymn, "O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go." Words: George Matheson, 1882. Music: Albert L. Peace, 1884.]
