Cherokee Rose (Rosa laevigata): State Flower of Georgia
Symbolism: Endurance, Resilience

The Cherokee Rose was chosen as the Georgia state flower as a reminder of preserving heritage. With a heavy history, the cherished flower was cultivated by the Cherokee people when settlers brought it to their lands. Legend has it that when the native people were moved from their homes, the pure white blossom sprouted along the “Trail of Tears” everywhere a tear landed during relocation. Therein, it came to symbolize resilience and endurance of the human spirit when the odds were not in their favor.
