"The French were successful in several stages of the Hundred Years' War, and it sent Britain into the War of the Roses after it's end."

The war of the roses was mostly due to internal struggle in England. Also the French had a massive advantage over the English as their population was more than 4 times bigger. The only reason the English were almost successful is because many lords prefered an English king as they felt he would leave them alone more. However once the French were more united they crushed the English quite easily. Also most English nobles didn't really care about France that much so once the war got really hard they stopped supporting it.
