The Order of the White Rose of Finland ((フィンランド語:Suomen Valkoisen Ruusun ritarikunta); (スウェーデン語:Finlands Vita Ros’ orden)) 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 President of Finland is the Grand Master of all three orders. The orders are administered by boards consisting of a chancellor, a vice-chancellor and at least four members. The orders of the White Rose of Finland and the Lion of Finland have a joint board. The Order of the White Rose of Finland was established by Gustaf Mannerheim in his capacity as regent (temporary head of state) on January 28, 1919. The name comes from the nine roses argent in the coat of arms of Finland. The order's rules and regulations were confirmed on May 16, 1919, and its present rules date from June 1, 1940. The revised scale of ranks was confirmed most recently in 1985. The original decorations were designed by Akseli Gallen-Kallela. The swastikas of the collar was replaced by fir crosses in 1963, designed by heraldic artist Gustaf von Numers. The honour can be granted for military as well as civilian merit. The ribbon for all classes is ultramarine. The motto of the Order appears on the medallion and is ''Isänmaan hyväksi'', which means in Finnish: "For the Well-Being of the Fatherland". The President of Finland wears the Grand Cross of the White Rose of Finland with Collar (a neck chain). The Collar is worn four centimetres from either side and hangs at equal distances at the front and back. To the Grand Cross, like also to the Commander marks is awarded with the Brisket Star. == Classes == The classes of the Order of the White Rose of Finland are: *85px Grand Cross of the White Rose of Finland with Collar *85px Grand Cross of the White Rose of Finland *85px First Class Commander of the White Rose of Finland *85px Commander of the White Rose of Finland *85px First Class Knight of the White Rose of Finland *85px Knight (Chevalier) of the White Rose of Finland *85px Cross of Merit of the White Rose of Finland *85px First Class Medal of the White Rose of Finland with golden cross *85px First Class Medal of the White Rose of Finland *85px Medal of the White Rose of Finland 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Order of the White Rose of Finland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
