    What one thing connects Gallica, Lionel, Richard Neville and Kennedy?

    Question #103693. Asked by Midget40. (Mar 10 09 7:01 AM)

    		A ROSE by any other name. . .

    Richard Neville: The Earl of Salisbury, was the brother-in-law of the Duke of York. The Wars of the Roses was between the Houses of York (white rose) and Lancaster (red rose). Hence, the connection of the “Rose”. http://www.luminarium.org/encyclopedia/neville.htm

    John F. Kennedy: His mother’s name was Rose (common knowledge), plus he had a rose (the flower) named for him. John F. Kennedy - White blend hybrid tea rose. http://www.flowerstothepeople.com/roses/rose-named-after-famous-people/

    Gallica: This is a type of rose. “The Gallicas are one of the oldest and most highly evolved of all roses ever bred.” http://www.rdrop.com/~paul/gallicas/index.html

    Lionel: Australian professional boxer, world bantamweight champion, 1968-69. You will never guess what his last name might be! That’s right, Lionel ROSE! http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/509734/Lionel-Rose

    This took me sometime to figure it out!

    		Well done Mooseeyes. I was beginning to think that I'd made that one impossible to answer. I'm glad someone put it together
