I'd try to argue the plum rose is, unfortunately, the symbol of the ROC and therefore representative of a capitalist empire getting roflstomped by communists, but the flower was adopted in like' 64 - 15 years after the PRC was proclaimed.
I've read some more recent analysis that suggests that the tulip mania mostly only happened on paper and the contracts with the vast sums on them were mostly not actually executed. And that at any rate the tulip gambling was confined to a small group of people and hade little economic impact.
So now I have to do more reading to figure out if that's cope or not.
I like to believe it was a country-wide phenomena with a bunch of Dutch dorks in clogs clacking around with literal bundles of tulips in hand while they go grocery shopping

They are also very pretty flowers.
I'm partial to plum blossoms over tulips myself. Not only are they pretty but they also make a great tea, and their fruits are so multipurpose.
