The rose is reflecting the red spectrum and generally absorbing the other colors. You see red because this is the color coming off the plant.

Opaque absorb or reflect light?
Glass reflects some of the light that hits it, absorbs some of the lightthat enters it, but 'transmits' most of the light that hits it. That's whyyou can see things through it pretty easily.
Why does Jupiter's red spot look red?
Because the gases present in the atmosphere absorb blue and green wavelengths of light and reflect red, so it appears red to us.
What color wavelengths of light do plants primarily absorb?
Different plants absorb different colors. Even different parts of plants absorb different colors. The color you see the plant as is the color being reflected rather than absorbed by the plant.
True or false Chlorophyll pigments absorb mostly green wavelenghts and reflect blue and red wavelenghs?
This is TRUE
What the four kinds of light sensitive receptors found in the retina?
Rods, cones that absorb long wavelength light (red),cones that absorb middle wavelength light (green), and cones that absorb short ways length light (blue)
Does a red light shone on a red surface reflect or absorb?
Reflect.
Why will the leaves of a red rose be warmed more than the petals when illuminated with red light?
The reason the rose is red is because it reflects red light. So if shining a red light on a red rose, most of the light will be reflected by the rose, but absorbed by the leaves. Absorbing light warms an item.
What color does red rose reflect and what colors does it absorb?
It nominally reflects red and nominally absorbs everything else.

Why do red object's look black in blue light?
Red and blue are primary colours therefore they do not contain any other colour. When a blue light is shone onto a red object, all the blue light is absorbed by the red object, and as no red light is being shone for the red object to reflect, no light will be reflected from it and it will appear to be black. It is important to remember that physical colours will only reflect it's light colour equivalent. All other colours are absorbed. So red will reflect red, green will reflect green, and red will absorb green and so on.
Why do red rose petals look black when you shine green light on them?
Red rose petals reflect red light. It absorbs all other colors, including green and blue. Therfore it absorbs the green light and the petals appear black.
What color of light do plants primarily reflect?
Most terrestrial plants reflect the color green. The photosyntehtic parts of plants tend to absorb the color red.
