The lily and the rose have been rivals for many years and were fighting for the highest place of honour.
Explanation:
Question statement:
Which flowers had been fighting for the highest place of honour? Who were the supporters of the two competing flowers?
Answer:
The lily and the rose have been rivals for many years and were fighting for the highest place of honour.
It's been a great dispute between these two flowers.
Both these flowers gather support and want to stand out among their "flower-factions,".
The poet never gives support or any particular remarks about the species of flower on either side of this power struggle.
