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!

8 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.

Comments (17)As JOHN CLARE climbed into the SULTAN'S limousine, graciously offered to rush him to the airport, a glint of light near the windshield caught his eye. Then the shape of the GLEAMING thing became clear. Could it be? Yes, for the third time this evening he was looking upon a GOLDEN UNICORN. He pushed the confusion from his mind and pursued his investigation. "Good evening, driver. What is your name?" "WILL SCARLET, sir." "Will, I'm afraid my CURIOSITY has gotten the better of me, what is that CHARM you have dangling there?" "Aye, 'tis nuthin', sir, a mere TRINKET." "Well, Will, what do you think? I just left a dead body bearing that same TRINKET." "Oh, sir, ya should not be jokin' like that about the dead." "Will, I could not be more serious. I have had the unhappiest of experiences, seeing LADY MARY FITZWILLIAM lying dead, murdered." WILL SCARLET careened to a stop at the side of the lane. "You're lyin', sir! That is not true!" "My dear, Will, I would never tell such a lie. You're quite upset, Will. How do you know LADY MARY FITZWILLIAM?" Failing to regain his composure, the driver stammered and clumsily blurted out, "She's a STRANGER to me, sir. I don't know her!" At which point he started to sob. "My good man, you do know her. Tell me what all this EMOTION is about." "Sir, on me muther's life, I had no part in this crime! The SULTAN sent me to fetch her this morning at the QUATRE SAISONS CASINO and bring her to ALNWYCK CASTLE. She was beside herself, sir, and told me she had been at the CASINO from SUNSET to SUNRISE, trying to win enough money to buy her FREEDOM from a man named STANWELL PERPETUAL. She was distraught, sir, sayin' sumthin' about a SECRET society and when she left the car, she threw this TRINKET at me and said "They intend to kill me!""...See MoreLets play the id game (Think I have most of them down)
