So How'd You Do?

Here are the answers to our "Rose Lore Quiz". We hope you have enjoyed learning some rose trivia.

No. 1	Rosy and rosaceous are both appropriate adjectives denoting color. While rosette refers to a physical form, such as rosette of ribbons or rosette moulding. Rosaniline is the name of a particular dye.
No. 2	Only rosaniline would be appropriate here, as it actually refers to a particular dyestuff.
No. 3	Roseola is a layman's term for a particular kind of skin rash that is caused by a virus
No. 4	The architect would no doubt have in mind the term rosette.
No. 5	While any of these terms would be accurate, I'd bet most gardeners would say rose bush and everyone else would say rose! :>)
