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.
