New Crop: Roses

[barra]

Rather than a bush (like dogrose), this suggestion is a trellis crop like pepper and grapes. The seeds are found as WWS just like other seeds.

Roses take approximately the same amount of time to grow as grapes, and when harvested produce one rose and 5 rose seeds. After harvesting the original plant remains and regrows the same as pepper and grapes. The rose is a simple curio like a poppy flower. As a curio, it has good lp-per-hour, but as a downside it takes a long time to raise quality as a slow-growing trellis crop.

Special feature: The colour of the flower on the fully-grown crop depends on the ratio of the essence/sub/vitality of the plant (as red/green/blue) so larpy players can breed a rose of an exact colour with a little effort.

We already have poppies, they are 99% same thing as roses.
They are flowers and they are red.

There's a few functionally similar plants in haven. Dogrose and blackcurrent are basically the same except in appearance. Nothing wrong with variety.

I be ok with roses if we could also make a vase and put them in it a symbol decoration or just to have around the place. But roses also can come in other colors then red as well.

I don't mind roses or them as a curio. I have always been for many options to achieve a similar goal. If someone wants to focus on farming then they should be able to fill their study with what they love to do. Just as much as someone who loves to hunt or forage should be able to fill theirs.

I like the idea, but I realise we already got something red in game. How about Sunflowers ? Seeds can be used for cooking purposes too.

Foxgloves - also used for medical stuff (and to poison people).

Sunflowers you can get off one... seeds (when dried can be eaten), the root ball (cooked it said to be kind of like a potato), and the flower itself. I would love sunflowers in the game.

I dont see why we could not add roses in the game, it does not matter that they are similar to poppies, poppies are edible roses are not.

Also, the shape is different, and it would allow a wide variety of objects, such as symbel items, curiosities, etc.

This would go nicely with this other sugestion:http://www.havenandhearth.com/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&f=48&t=46291

Stuff like this makes the game more fun I think, we could get different varieties of different colors, and the colors could be somehow connected to the specific qualities of the seed, the highest value decides color of the rose maybe?

We could get Red roses if Vitality is higher, pink is substance is higher and white if essence is higher for exemple.

There could also be a small chance of getting a super rare black rose, which would be much better than regular ones, or have additional properties, maybe as an igredient to a very good healing item?
