The White Rose Order (Gaullican: Ordre de la Rose Blanche), officially named the Order for the Preservation of White Society (Gaullican: Ordonnance pour la Préservation de la Société Blanche), was a white supremacist fraternal organization and paramilitary group that formed on the Théme de Îles d'Émeraude in 1916 and was active until 1935, when it was outlawed.

The organization formed in reaction to the Emeraudian Spring, which had grown to support greater racial equality for the island's Bahian population as well as other ethnic minorities, which was pushed for by many Bahian figures such asJean-Baptiste Canmore and Lou Dubois. Jacques Levasseur, the organization's first and only President who also is credited with founding the organization, labeled the Spring as a "malicious" movement that "[threatened] to destroy White society and bring ruin to the White race of Île d'Émeraude," an attitude shared by a considerable amount of the island's White population The organization would undertake a doctrine they officially deemed as "Active Resistance," which included political violence against Bahians and other non-whites; much of the time, victims of attacks from the White Rose Order had little to no involvement with the Emeraudian Spring.

The organization lasted almost two full decades, as the colonial government did very little to stop their activities and in some limited cases even supported them. However, it would be dissolved in 1935 after the Grand Alliance occupied the island and the rest of the Gaullican East Arucian. Many of the White Rose Order's members had been arrested after the occupation had began, and once the Arucian Federation had formed they were blacklisted from political office and civil service. After Île d'Émeraude declared independence, the organization remained outlawed. Many of its former members would go on to found the Traditional People's Party, though it was a very minor party that never gained government representation and dissolved in 1964.
