Why does a red rose look black in all green light?

The answer lies in the name you've given to the rose. You call it a "red rose", because when it's illuminated by light of all colors, it absorbs all of them except the red, and the red remains to bounce away from the rose toward your eye. If the only light falling on it is green, then all the light falling on it is absorbed. There's none left to reflect away from the rose to your eye, and the rose appears black.

Which color will red rose appear to be if only a blue light reached it?

Why do you call that flower a "red" rose ? Could it be because it appears red in typical 'wideband' solar or household light ? That must mean that when light of many colors shines on it, the rose absorbs everything except red, and red is the only light left to bounce off of it toward your eyes. If that's the case, and you illuminate it with light of any single color other than red, then the rose will absorb that light and appear black.


What colour would a red rose appear under blue light?

A red rose would appear darker and less vibrant under blue light due to the interaction between the blue light and the red pigments in the rose petals. The blue light would not enhance the red color of the rose, making it appear different from how it looks under white light.
