Flower:
In Alberta, the wild rose (Rosa acicularis) was officially adopted in 1930. The Women's Institutes took up and passed on to the Department of Education a suggestion by the editor of an Edmonton newspaper that a provincial floral emblem should be selected. The final choice was made by the schoolchildren of the province.
