Our official national bird is the wren btw, (a very tiny bird about half the size of little robins;- wrens are the second smallest bird on our island.) Wrens have a very loud and delightful song though for such tiny birds.

The little European robins are voted by British people as being our favourite national bird. (They're cute, but extremely territorial and will often kill other robins entering their territory.)

I like roses... they can be a symbol of gentle love, but they also have thorns and a defensive side too. The thorns help to protect them in nature. They're extremely resilent flowers. I think they represent the English spirit well... we can be gentle and loving towards people, but we can also be thorny and defensive if threatened or attacked.
