Specific Flowers Trivia Questions

1. This many-colored rose variety might bring to mind a certain favored (and oh so dreamy) son and the amazing gift bestowed upon him.

From Quiz
For My Little Flame

Answer: Joseph's Coat

The Joseph's Coat Rose is a cross between the Hybrid Tea and a Polyantha Rose. It grows in large clusters on a shrub or as a climber. A single plant may produce many flowers in a variety of colors with many shades of pinks, yellows, oranges, and reds. In the Biblical narrative, Jacob favored Joseph most of all his twelve sons and gave to him a special coat of many colors. Joseph's brothers were jealous of him, and when he shared two of his dreams with them suggesting that they would one day bow down to him, they plotted to get rid of him. They spared his life, but sold him into slavery. Amazingly, his fortunes were turned around and Joseph ended up becoming Vizier of Egypt. This question was crafted by Phoenix Rising member JCSon.

2. Although often called thorns, what is the proper term for the sharp growths found on the stems of many roses?

From Quiz Romantic Red Roses!

Answer: Prickles

The sharp appendages on a rose stem are properly referred to as prickles. They are sharp growths that originate on the outer layer of the stem. Real thorns, such as those found on some citrus trees are actually modified stems. The purpose of the rose prickle is to help the plant hang onto other vegetation when growing around or over it as well as deterring some animals from eating the plant for lunch. The size and shape of prickles varies widely and is usually dependent upon the surrounding environment.

3. This member of the rose family keeps the Doctor away. Which one is it?

From Quiz Roses All

Answer: Apple

If you examine the leaves and flowers of an apple you will see the family likeness.

4. Although I painted some garden scenes that included roses, I am perhaps better known for more watery flowers. One of my works inspired the name of the Impressionist movement in art. Which rose am I?

From Quiz A Brush With Nature: Artists In The Rose Garden

Answer: Claude Monet

Rosa "Claude Monet", also called the "Artists' Rose", is a vigorous repeat-blooming hybrid tea rose characterised by scented flowers randomly splashed and striped with pink and apricot. It was introduced in 1992 by the French rose growers, Delbard. The first hybrid tea roses were created in the mid-nineteenth century and produced single blooms on long stems suitable for cutting; they were generally either unscented or only slightly scented. Modern hybrid teas tend to be bred with stronger fragrance. There is also another rose named "Monet": a modern large-flowered hybrid tea, with mauve-pink strongly scented flowers. Two of Monet's earlier works, "Flowering Garden at Sainte-Adresse" (1866), and "Woman in a Garden" (1867), feature rose bushes prominently, but he is more popularly known for his later paintings (1899 onwards) of water lilies in his garden at Giverny; his picture "Impression, Sunrise" (1872) gave its name to the Impressionist movement.

5. When I started dating my sweetheart, he gave me a bouquet of yellow roses with red tips. What was he telling me?

From Quiz A Rose Is A Rose By Any Other Color?

Answer: "I am falling in love with you"

Yellow roses with red tips on them show a warm friendship with a feeling of falling in love. When someone gives you such a bouquet, they are saying, "I am falling in love with you".

6. With more than 25,000 species and 110,000 (and counting) hybrids, orchids are the largest family of flowering plants in the world. Orchids comprise approximately what percentage of all flowering plants?

From Quiz All About Orchids

Answer: 8 percent

Orchids grow in all 50 US states, including Alaska.

7. Edelweiss means what when translated from German?

From Quiz Edelweiss

Answer: Noble and white

Edelweiss actually is more of a silver color, with yellow accents in a star shaped flower. The leaf has the texture of felt. It grows about 12 inches high, and will slowly spread from a clump that appears to be grass when first coming up in the early spring.

8. What colour is the very beautiful "John F. Kennedy Rose"?

From Quiz Do You Know These Rose Colors?

Answer: White

A striking accent amid landscape greenery, the JFK rose combines effortlessly with all colours. A "John F. Kennedy Rose" bush can grow to be as big as 3 to 5 feet high and 3 to 4 feet wide. It gives off a pleasant licorice perfume. A JFK rose is undisturbed by hot weather, and blooms throughout the season. White roses symbolize purity, chastity and innocence.

9. Roses can be named after famous actresses as well. What rose is named for the actress who won three individual Academy Awards, but not for her most famous role in "Casablanca"(1942)?

From Quiz For My Little Flame

Answer: Rosa Ingrid Bergman

Rosa Ingrid Bergman is a rose with petals that are dark red and velvety. This is another Hybrid Tea rose which was hybridised by Poulsen in 1984 as a cross between the red hybrid tea 'Precious Platinum' (Dickson 1974) and an unnamed seedling. Ingrid Bergman , one of the world's most talented actresses filmed movies in Swedish, English, German and Italian and won three Oscars: Best Actress for "Gaslight" (1944) and "Anastasia: (1956); and a Best Supporting Actress for "Murder on the Orient Express" (1974). While everybody wanted to talk to her about her role in "Casablanca", she did not: "I made so many films which were more important, but the only one people ever want to talk about is that one with Bogart." This question was crafted by Phoenix Rising member 1nn1

10. Now, let's go ahead and re-pot it into something completely unsuitable. What might that be?

From Quiz 10 Ways to Kill An Orchid

Answer: a pot with no drainage

Drainage should be a top consideration when choosing an orchid pot: it needs to drain easily. A regular plastic pot with holes on the bottom could well be good enough, but you can also use a fancy orchid pot or even mount your orchid on a piece of wood. The type of pot or mount you choose will depend on your resources and growing conditions.

11. Most, but not all, roses are native to which continent?

From Quiz Romantic Red Roses!

Answer: Asia

There are over 100 species of rose. The vast majority are native to the Asian continent. There are a few varieties that are native to Europe, northern areas of Africa and North America. They have been grown for centuries in the Mediterranean areas and used for perfume, lawn ornamentation and occasionally for medicinal purposes.

12. Another edible rose is used to make something you spread on your morning toast, or served sliced with cream. What is the luscious red item?

From Quiz Roses All

Answer: Strawberry

The strawberry flower looks like a miniature wild rose.

13. Flowers didn't feature much in my Blue Period, but one of my Rose Period paintings had roses in it. Which rose am I?

From Quiz A Brush With Nature: Artists In The Rose Garden

Answer: Picasso

Rosa "Picasso" is a floribunda with hand painted colouring: the petals have a silvery base colour overlaid with deep pink to red feathery blotches, and a silvery reverse; the base of each of the 25 petals is white, creating what is called an "eye" in the centre. It flowers over a long period, but has no fragrance. Floribunda roses started to appear in the early 20th century when growers crossed hybrid tea roses with polyantha roses: the resulting plants had the wider colour range of the hybrid tea and the clusters of flowers of the polyantha. Floribundas are ideal for bedding and hedging. Pablo Picasso was one of the founders of the Cubist movement, and his works evolved through several styles. His Blue Period paintings (1901-1904), influenced by his reaction to the suicide of a friend, are characterised by their monochromatic appearance and sad facial expressions. This was immediately followed by the Rose Period (1904-1906), when warmer colours and more cheerful subjects appeared; the painting "Boy with a Pipe" (1905) features a boy wearing a chaplet of roses, with more roses in the canal-painting style on the wall behind him.

14. Tulips originate from what part of the world?

From Quiz My TU-cents on the TULIP.

Answer: South Central Asia (Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan)

Historians generally believe that the Turks were the ones who sent the tulip on with Western European explorers, sometime in the 1500's. But evidence predominantly suggests the tulip originated in this southern region of Asia.

15. This color of rose has many meanings like appreciation, admiration and gentleness. Which color rose is this one?

From Quiz A Rose Is A Rose By Any Other Color?

Answer: Pink

Pink roses convey the emotions of appreciation, grace, admiration, perfect happiness, gentleness, and to say, "thank you" or "please believe me". Generally, pink is a great choice at the beginning of a relationship to show you admire the person. Pink roses are a symbol of elegance also. If you want to covey a more gentle image, pink roses are the right choice. Dark red signifies deep love, yellow shows friendship, while coral shows desire.

16. The name of this beautiful pink rambler is Paul's :

From Quiz Rose Varieties

Answer: Himalayan Musk

This rambler can grow 40 feet up a tree and spread from treetop to treetop. It only blooms once per season. The flowers are a cherry blossom pink.

17. Where might one find an orchid in its native habitat?

From Quiz All About Orchids

Answer: Both of these

Antarctica is the only continent with no native orchids.

18. Which region is Edelweiss (Leontopodium nivale) most common in and associated with?

From Quiz Edelweiss

Answer: Alps

19. What colour is the "Veterans' Honor Rose"?

From Quiz Do You Know These Rose Colors?

"Jackson and Perkins" is an American rose company, established in 1872. These roses are very large, have from 17-25 petals, and are typically solitary, with a high-centered bloom form. "Veteran's Honor" roses bloom in flushes during the season. Red roses symbolize ultimate love, passion and longing.

From Quiz The Red Red Rose

Answer: Afghanistan and Southwest Asia

The original yellow roses were Rosa Ecae, Rosa Foetida, and Rosa Hemisphaerica. They are wild roses with thorny stems, clear yellow flowers, and a scent that is rather like sulfur. They were bred with western roses and eventually produced the yellow roses that we see today.

22. The number of leaves on a tulip is always:

From Quiz My TU-cents on the TULIP.

Answer: A Whole Number

With so many species of tulip, there is no fixed number of leaves. Some species have up to twelve leaves. But it is safe to say that tulips cannot grow half leaves. Kind of like you can't dig half a hole. So, it will always be a whole number of leaves.

23. A recent color trend has its varieties in a category called...?

From Quiz Rose Varieties

Answer: Coffee roses

These are roses that have tinges of brown in them. Very interesting. Some examples are Smokey, Brown Velvet, Victoriana, Jocelyn, and Kaleidescope.

26. While scouting round the Victoria (Aus) State Rose Garden, be prepared to find a delightful, tight-budded red rose, named for which Dame Grand Cross of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire?

From Quiz For My Little Flame

Answer: Olave Baden-Powell

Olave Baden-Powell was, of course, wife of Lord Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout movement. She was recognised for her services to Guiding by King George V. She died in 1977. The scarlet hybrid tea rose that bears her name was bred by German nurseryman Mathias Tantau Jr. in the early 1970s. This question was grafted by Phoenix Rising member VegemiteKid

27. Placing your orchid in the wrong medium has marked it for a slow death, but you're not the patient sort. You decide to give it an extra push towards the grave by making sure that the medium is always:

From Quiz 10 Ways to Kill An Orchid

Answer: soaking wet

Over-watering is probably the most common way beginners kill their orchids. In a phalaenopsis, the medium should be allowed to become almost dry before watering again.

28. Although most members of the rose family produce edible products, there is one substance that is produced by some roses that you must be very careful of. What poison can be found in the kernel of an apricot?

From Quiz Roses All

Answer: Cyanide

There are two types of apricot kernels, bitter and sweet. The bitter ones contain the poison. Even apple seeds contain amygdalin (a cyanide and sucrose compound), but in amounts that the body can safely detoxify. While used in some recipes and health food remedies, the amount of apricot kernels that can be toxic,especially to children, is as little as 10 kernels. Better not to risk it

29. Roses used to be known to only bloom in the Spring, but in the 19th century something happened that changed that, and roses began to be developed that bloomed repeatedly into Summer and Autumn. What happened to change the blooming habit of roses?

From Quiz The Red Red Rose

Answer: The crossbreeding of China roses with European variants

China roses, for the most part, had small, relatively unattractive, blooms, but those blooms appeared repeatedly throughout the Spring, Summer, and Autumn. Crossing the China roses with the European roses produced new roses with large attractive blooms that bloomed repeatedly through Spring, Summer, and Fall.
