An '''EnglishRose''' is a nostalgic idea of a beautiful young English lady. She is virtuous and possesses a certain type of modest beauty, and is portrayed by an actress of a certain type. You'll recognise her when you see her, very often in roles of TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask variety. She is always of English (or British at least) breeding, and likely to speak in [[BritishAccents the RP accent]] -- and though she seems at least faintly aristocratic, she almost never falls prey to the AristocratsAreEvil trope. She will usually be slight and pale and perhaps most often blonde (though raven-haired or even red-headed varieties are far from uncommon), and will have a sort of otherworldly ethereal beauty instead of massive casabas.
