I've never heard of "Washington Rose".  Washington's song is "Washington,
My Home" and a blander bit of treacle you've never heard.  We had to sing
it in grade school.

There's peace you feel and understand.
In 
this, our own beloved land. 
We greet the day with head held high,
And forward 
ever is our cry. 
We'll happy ever be
As people always 
free. 
For you and me a destiny;
Washington my 
home. 

If that doesn't sound bad to you, you need to hear the tune.
It's a kids skipping around the maypole kind of thing.

I prefer You-Dub's "Bow Down to Washington."
