Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This member of the rose family keeps the Doctor away. Which one is it?

Answer: Apple

If you examine the leaves and flowers of an apple you will see the family likeness.
2. Another edible rose is used to make something you spread on your morning toast, or served sliced with cream. What is the luscious red item?

Answer: Strawberry

The strawberry flower looks like a miniature wild rose.
3. Surprisingly, another member of the rose family one can be toasted, slivered and used to make marzipan. What is it?

Answer: Almond

Almonds are among the oldest known nuts.
4. Although most members of the rose family produce edible products, there is one substance that is produced by some roses that you must be very careful of. What poison can be found in the kernel of an apricot?

Answer: Cyanide

There are two types of apricot kernels, bitter and sweet. The bitter ones contain the poison. Even apple seeds contain amygdalin (a cyanide and sucrose compound), but in amounts that the body can safely detoxify. While used in some recipes and health food remedies, the amount of apricot kernels that can be toxic,especially to children, is as little as 10 kernels. Better not to risk it
5. Even our ornamental roses produce something we can eat or use to make jelly. What are they?

Answer: Hips

If you don't use the hips to make jelly, they can be left for the birds to eat in the winter. Rose hips are very high in vitamin C. Leaves of some roses such as raspberries are used to make tea, but not usually jelly.
6. Can you name a non-fruit part of the ornamental rose that is used in both food preparation and perfume?

Answer: petals

Rose petals are used in the manufacturing of rose water and in attar of roses. Rose water is used in confectionery to flavour such items as Turkish delight. Attar of roses is used in making perfume. Attar can look like translucent butter and can come in different colours.
7. Roses have been used in medicine.

Answer: True

There is an old rose named 'rosa officianalis' which is the apothecary rose, and was used in compounding medicines. Considering the high vitamin C content of rose hips, the idea of roses in medicine is not too surprising.
8. Another red berry loved by many and used in making jam has its seeds on the inside (unlike the strawberry with its seeds on the outside). Would you give me a Bronx cheer if I fed you some of these berries?

Answer: Raspberry

Each individual seed on a raspberry is called a drupelet. The seeds are enclosed in the edible flesh.
9. Another rose never eaten in its raw form is the quince. What food derives its name from the Portuguese word for quince jam?

Answer: Marmalade

The Portuguese word for quince jam is marmelada. The name eventually became attached to other forms of sweetened preserves, and today is used mainly for those which are citrus based.
10. What edible rose may be the real 'apple' of the Bible since apples are a temperate climate fruit?

Answer: Apricot

Within the rose family, the edible roses fall within sub groups. Apricots, almonds, peaches, cherries and plums are one group, while another consists of apples, pears, quinces and hawthorns. Still another family consists of raspberries, blackberries, loganberries and all their descendants such as Boysenberries.
