About the rose's color
The Rose became the US national flower on 1986-10-07 when President Reagan signed Proclamation 5574. America grows over a billion stems a year — Valentine's Day alone ships 250 million. In ToonTone Guess, we represent the rose with the hex value #DC143C — the color most people see when they picture the bloom in a vase or in a field.
