I wanted to make a FABULOUS fortress with rose gold everywhere, but I also wanted rose based art objects, so I'm modding in roses.

HOWEVER, I need ideas for the prefstring.

I was initially thinking "____ thorns" but I'm failing my purple prose roll.

Edit 2:Updated Rose Entry
Edit: Fixed the picked color

Delicate appearance?
Faaabulous colours?

[They Got Leader]

Beautiful flowers?
Wonderful smell?

IIRC, in real life, you can boil rose hips to make rose hip tea. And you can take rose hips from rose buds.
I am a little curious about rose oil and rose liqueur. Can you distill tea??? And rose oil would be the scents, right?

[Clover Magic]

You can actually set multiple preferences, as well, so dwarves can like roses for their different things, such as "romantic fragrance", "sharp thorns", etc.  Just keep going, such as:
[PREFSTRING:preference 1]
[PREFSTRING:preference 2]

And so on.  The game will pick one at random.

[riznar]

Okay with the revelation that I can have multiple, I think I'll go with

"delicate petals"
"romantic aroma"
"sharp thorns"

This was done from a quick web search, I've never had rose liqueur myself

I have had tea with rose water in it though and it's amazing, but dwarfs don't drink tea

I confused myself with the oil, it's the rose water you cook with

So extract essense -> oil
Process to barrel -> water
Brew -> liqueur

Can a plant have both an essence and a liquid product?

[Vattic]

I know you have already decided and that they come in many colours but "for their blood red petals"?

I believe so. One goes in vials. The other in barrels. Valley herbs do both, but I think I am wrong.

I think that the largest part of the rose that people notice is not the delicate petals as much as the beautiful rose itself.

Also, is there a dwarven word for "rose"?

[riznar]

Vattic, if there is a way to make plants multicolored like animals I don't know how to do it. I've been setting color values to red...I think.

They Got Leader, expressing that is the main part of this thread, though now it seems to be a general rose mod thread. The things have more uses than I realized.

[Deon]

You will have to make different kinds of roses (red rose, yellow rose etc.).

And "thorns" is the first thing which comes to my mind .

[riznar]

Okay I updated the rose code above.

Also it's freaking hard to get a dwarf with the preferences you want. They seem to prefer rose based food just fine though.

[darkflagrance]

Remove prefstrings from everything except roses. That should narrow down what they are allowed to like.

Yeah. That would do it.
