"Wednesday, April 14, 2004, the governor signed a bill by Sen. Gilmer Capps, D-Snyder, making the Oklahoma Rose the Official State Flower. Capps said many think mistletoe is the state flower, but it is actually the official state floral emblem. The Oklahoma Rose is a hybrid developed at Oklahoma State University and those fond of the flower say its deep crimson represents the blood that was shed when the Five Civilized Tribes were moved to Oklahoma. - OUDaily.com" -- Mike
