Rose of Ra Color Database

This page exists to list Roses of Ra known to work for various requirements of the Festival of Maat.

Roses, untangled

• People who are volunteering roses for festival
• Matrix of specific varieties known
• Rose Varieties needing testing (for Maat color requirements)
• People with specific requirements available to test roses.

Requirement Basics

Requirements can be size (Giant, Dwarf, Giant x2, Dwarfx2) or color of leaves, stamen, inner petals, or outer petals (white, magenta, red, yellow, green, cyan, blue).

The sizes "Giant x2" and "Dwarf x2" exist only in crossbreeds. Normal size and Giant Dwarf (75%, 1 giant gene and 1 dwarf gene) exist but have not been requested; Giant Dwarf counts as Giant.

Color appears to be on a CMYK scale, not RGB. A useful program to get color values (turn lighting, time of day off) for roses (and paints) is Visual Color Picker (google it).

Standard varieties

These varieties are available from universities.

Abbr	Name	Leaves	Stamen	Inner petals	Outer petals	Size
BH	Blood Heart	Magenta	Magenta	white	white	normal
GL	Goldenleaves	yellow	(useless)	white	white	normal
PA	Pantomime	white	white	magenta	white	normal
WG	White Giant	yellow	yellow	white	white	giant

Below is this same information, but by color, and with links to the hybrid pages.

Does my rose exist? Hybrids, and Global Data

This chart shows what combinations of color and item have been developed.

• Yes, BH, GL, PA, and WG - a standard flower type (with that abbreviation) has this combination
• Yes, Hybrid - a hybrid has been developed that satisfies this requirement
• No, Hybrid - no current flower supports this combination. If you need it for Maat, either "re-roll" or help the growers identify hybrids.

Where a standard flower can satisfy a requirement, we have not listed any hybrids, as the standard flowers are so much easier to get. "Hybrids" means this attribute only exists in hybrids; look in the table farther down to find a supplier, and if that fails, click the link to find the names of all reported flowers with the attribute so you can ask around for it by name.

Color	Leaves	Stamen	Inner petals	Outer petals
White	Yes, PA	Yes, PA	Yes, WG, GL, BH	Yes, WG, GL, BH, PA
Magenta	Yes, BH	Yes, BH	Yes, PA	Yes, hybrids
Red	Yes, hybrids	Yes, hybrids	No, hybrids	No, hybrids
Yellow	Yes, GL	Yes, WG	No, hybrids	No, hybrids
Green	No, hybrids	Yes, hybrids	No, hybrids	No, hybrids
Cyan	No, hybrids	Yes, hybrids	No, hybrids	Yes hybrids
Blue	No, hybrids	Yes, hybrids	No, hybrids	No, hybrids

As new hybrids satisfy new categories, please update this chart as well as the specific hybrid page.

MAAT ALERT: Please be sure to click on the flower YOURSELF to verify requirements if you have a PETAL requirement. The outer and inner petals were switched in T1 for some/all flowers (for Xenobotany and Maat) and so there may be incorrect data in the charts.

To help verify Maat requirements, please fill in the data on these lists:

• Rose of Ra Requirements - Get your Maat requirement and fill it in here so rose breeders can contact you if they have a rose that they think might fulfill this requirement. Please update the list each time you have pleased a god in a festival, as all requirements change whenever you do this.
• Rose of Ra Candidates - If you have a Rose of Ra that might fit one of the requirements, please enter it in this list so people who have this as a requirement can check and verify it.
