Rose of England "Rose of England" is a patriotic song written by Welsh composer Ivor Novello in 1937 for his musical "Crest of the Wave". Contrary to some reports, it was not popularised by Vera Lynn during the war years. The only recording which she made of the song was on the long-playing album "More Hits of the Blitz" released in 1966 and which has been included on several Compact Disc releases. This was the choice of her producer, the (then) recently hired David Gooch, who also produced the final album recorded by Alma Cogan. John Cleese used the music for his comic song "I've got a ferret sticking up my nose" on I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again.
