The war of the roses was named so because the two houses had a rose as emblem, red for Lancaster and white for York.
When Henry Tudor became king, ending that war, he married Elisabeth of York to rally both parties (his own mother was a Lancaster). To make the point he created the Tudor rose by putting both colours in the same heraldic emblem. White on red if on a field of gold or silver, red on white if any other colour.

Henry VII created the Tudor Rose upon his ascension to the throne by amalgamating the White Rose of York and the Red Rose of Lancaster. When Henry acceeded to the throne following his victory at the Battle of Bosworth on 22 August 1485, he strengthened his position by marrying Elizabeth of York - the daughter of Edward IV and niece of the deposed king Richard III. This unified the two warring houses of Lancaster & York thus bringing about an end to the 'Wars of the Roses'. To signify this the Red Rose of Lancaster and the White Rose of York were combined to produce the Tudor Rose.

The tudor rose is a conflation of the Red Rose of Lancaster and the White Rose of York. It was created as a symbol of the end of the War of the Roses in which the houses of Lancaster and York were united by the marriage of Henry [Lancastrian] to Elizabeth of York, the best surviving yorkist claimant after the death of the Yorkist King Richard III during battle against Henry at Bosworth.

I think the tudor rose came about when the lancastrian king Henry Tudor married Elizabeth of york to unite the two families who were arguing they had the claim to the throne. So Henry united the two emblems of the families to create one new crest to show unity and peace between the two quarelling families.

The Tudor Rose of England.The Tudor rose also known as an English Rose[citation needed]. It is a traditional heraldric emblem of England and takes its name and origins from the Tudor dynasty.
When Henry Tudor took the crown of England from Richard III in battle, he brought about the end of the Wars of the Roses between the House of Lancaster (Red Rose) and the House of York (White Rose). His mother was Margaret Beaufort from the House of Lancaster, His father was Edmund Tudor from the House of Richmond; he married Elizabeth of York to bring all factions together.
In so doing he created the Tudor rose, conjoining the White Rose of York and the Red Rose of Lancaster. In heraldry, the rose is depicted as white on red if placed on a field of a metal (gold or silver), or red on white if placed on a field of a colour, due to the rule of tincture.
The Tudor Rose has several uses. It is used as the plant badge of England (Scotland uses the thistle, Ireland uses the shamrock, and Wales uses the leek). As such, it is seen on the dress uniforms of the Yeomen Warders at the Tower of London, and of the Yeomen of the Guard. It features on the British Twenty Pence coin and the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom. It also features, albeit subtly, on the Coat of arms of Canada.

The wars of the Roses were not a war between Yorkshire and Lancashire but between the descendants of 2 of King Edward III 's sons following the expulsion from the throne of Richard II by his cousin the Duke of Lancaster who became Henry IV. The title Duke of Lancaster is still held by the Queen.The red and white roses were used as badges by the two sides and Henry VII adopted a design which incorporated both.

i think king henry the 1st or second started that because until elizabeth 1 died, the monarchy was the tudor dynasty. The family name was Tudor and i guess the king thought his wife looked like a rose. i'm taking a wild guess here though
