The Thirteen Roses
"Las Trece Rosas" (the Thirteen Roses) is the name given in Spain to a group of thirteen young women, seven of whom were under age (in Francoist Spain the age of majority was 21), who were executed by a Francoist firing squad just after the conclusion of the Spanish Civil War, as part of a massive execution campaign known as the "saca de agosto" along with 43 young men (among them a teenage of fourteen).
The thirteen victims' names were: Carmen Barrero Aguado (24 years), Martina Barroso García (22 years), Blanca Brissac Vázquez (29 years), Pilar Bueno Ibáñez (27 years), Julia Conesa Conesa (19 years), Adelina García Casillas (19 years), Elena Gil Olaya (20 years), Virtudes González García (18 years), Ana López Gallego (21 years), Joaquina López Laffite (23 years), Dionisia Manzanero Salas (20 years), Victoria Muñoz García (19 years), and Luisa Rodríguez de la Fuente (18 years).
