Rose (color)
All of the colour articles were subject to a blanket AfD here. This was closed as a delete all, although the talk page for that AfD was tabulated otherwise. VfU opted to undelete all the articles and give them seperate AfDs (see the bottom of VfU for my reasoning on this). So here they are. If you wish to make a blanket comment on these articles please copy paste your comment into each &mdash; do not expect the closer to extrapolate your intent in these exceptional circumstances. Thank you. No comment from me. -Splash talk 00:04, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep for all the reasons that there was no consensus to delete this one in the earier AfD - even if some of the current material needs to be scrapped, rose is definitely a notable color. -- BD2412 talk 00:36, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I voted delete all up top, and I would still delete this one. Surely, this would be better if just included in the Rose article, its not like theres a lot of information here is there? - Hahnchen 00:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * This one has more potential than most - it can be found in poetry, literature, music, heraldry - consider the expression, "rose-colored glasses"! -- BD2412 talk 00:53, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, there are enough cultural references for this. Pilatus 01:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, this one is rather widespread. I'd suggest replacing the sample with a picture of a red rose though. Gazpacho 01:07, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Rose, which talks about what colors (plural) they can be. Jonathunder 06:40, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * That's the point, Jonathunder. Roses, as flowers, can be many colors, even blue nowadays, but Rose, as a color, refers to a particularly vivid, emotive, highly literarily notable shade of red. Xoloz 08:52, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong keep - very widespread colour. Much expansion possible. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 08:28, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
