Let's play: Rose Uno
So I've been tinkering with this idea for a new game on here and given all the wonderful pictures on here, I think this "game" (there are no losers, just winners) might appeal to all of us.
The principles are similar to the game Uno. If the previous person posts a picture of a red hybrid tea then the next person either has to post a hybrid tea of another color or a red rose of the hybrid tea, floribunda, grandiflora, mini...variety. All posts must state what kind of rose it is (hybrid tea, floribunda, climber, miniflora...). If someone posts a white floribunda and the following person posts a striped white and red floribunda then the next person has to post two rose pictures containing the same colors as the striped rose that are still floribundas (in other words, stripes are considered draw two). If someone posts a picture that was used commercially and the following person posts the link where the person took the picture from then the person that posted the plagiarized picture has to post four pictures of different colors of the same variety (the draw four). If a person posts a picture of a rose that has a different color on the reverse side of the petals then the previous person to post a picture must post a picture of a rose containing the color of the reverse side of the rose (like the reverse card). If a person posts a picture of a rose that has a blend of colors, then the next person must post a picture of a rose that contains one of those colors found on the blended rose (like the wild card). No one can post the same picture twice in one game. If someone posts a picture more than twice, the second picture is considered a draw four. The game is over when we've reached two hundred posts, at which point the last player's contribution establishes the next game's starter color/variety.
I know, it's a bit more complicated than the Name That Rose Game, but I figured this game could potentially get more players involved.
Let's give this a try!

10 years agoHmmm, I hope this is right. Vick's Caprice. Hybrid Perpetual. However, I am going with the pink. HMF states it is a pink blend, pink stripes, carmine pink stripes, white stripes. Great fragrance for me and is good as a cut flower.

10 years agolast modified: 10 years agoI don't think we need to be that specific. I think you can just post two roses from the stripe colors. It's not that critical that they both be the same class. It is just a game for fun after all.

I don't have any minifloras and the game seems to be at a stopping point. so maybe no one else does either? I am going to jumpstart with one of my very first roses purchased in early 70's that started my addiction, I mean collection:
Snowfire, Red blend hybrid tea. unfortunately lost it a few years ago
