Answer 1

i just asked her, and she denied it... she loved roses, that is why they had war of the roses...

Answer 2

It is known as anthophobia.

Yes Elizabeth the 1st did suffer from this.  She was a hemophiliac and was scared that if she pricked herself on a rose, she might bleed to death.

Answer 3

Queen Elizabeth I was deathly afraid of roses, which is a subcategory of anthophobia, or the fear of flowers. Even if she was afraid of bleeding to death, this would have originated from the fear of dying. Throughout her reign as Queen, there were numerous of assassination attempts made by many who wanted to challenge her authority.

There is no records indicating that Elizabeth was "hemophiliac." Haemophilia in European royalty as known as "the royal disease" started from Queen Victoria, who in turned passed the mutation to various royal houses across the continent, including the royal families of Spain, Germany and Russia. It is still a mystery how Queen Victoria got the genetic disease since both of her parents were not "hemophiliac."
