If red and yellow, Minden Roses, if red and white, St George's Day Roses of the RNF and later of the RRF.
(They're presumably post WWII, but I remember reading, many years ago, of RNF prisoners in the Far East wearing make do St George's Day Roses).
During the 1970's officers and ORs wore the same, fabric Roses.
