The Order of the White Rose of Finland is
one of three official orders in Finland, along with the Order of the Cross of
Liberty, and the Order of the Lion of Finland. The Order of the White Rose is

National Institution. Awarding decorations on the Independence Day for merits
benefiting the country is an important national tradition in Finland.
