Rock and Roll Music is no stranger to RockRose who can be found at the bar rocking out and drinking heavily to whatever songs Henry the bartender has placed on the jukebox.

Hero Form Appearance: A hybrid of a daredevil's costume and YuYuYu’s Hero Form Outfits. The undersuit of the outfit is a jet black, acting as a contrast for the bright crimson hues of the main outfit. And while the main outfit starts out as a crimson hue, it becomes more of a scarlet red starting at the lower half of the sleeves, the lower half of the pants, and the tailcoat. Accent colors are pink, purple, white, black, gray, silver, gold, and dark blue. The shoes, gloves, sunglasses, and belt all have patterns of rockroses on them, and the only other accessory, besides his sunglasses, is a charm he wears on his belt that looks just like the flower. The flower’s petal shape can be seen in the tailcoat and collar.

Full Bloom Gauge Location: Right Thigh

Guardian: Gryphos (Based on a Gryphon)

Favorite Food: Turkey Legs

Parallel To: None

Bio: This heavy guy is one of the Koopalings and likes throwing his weight around. His pink sunglasses might not make him seem evil, but the speed he can go from slacker to soldier certainly does. In Super Mario Bros. 3, he causes earthquakes to stop Mario in his tracks, all while attacking with blasts of magic. Nasty stuff!

Flower Information Inspired By The Band "The Amazing Devil"

My current favorite band is The Amazing Devil. It consists of Joey Batey and Madeleine Hyland. They sometimes use flowers in their songs or name their songs after flowers such as their song Blossoms.

Forget-Me-Nots

In their song Elsa's Song, they mention Forget-Me-Nots. The last sentence in the song is, "Out of all the flowers you picked, I knew you would forget forget-me-nots."

Forget-Me-Nots, also known as Scorpian Grasses, are small five-petaled blue flowers with yellow or white centers. They grow in woodsy or boggy areas and prefer moist soil in full sun. Their growing season is mid to late spring. They have a slight citrus smell. They are non-toxic and edible. They represent true love and respect.

2. Sage

Also in their song Elsa's Song, they mention sage, lilies, and roses in the line, "You'll strew some sage and lilies and roses where I rot."

Sage is a rather famous herb and is constantly being used in cooking. Sage plants produce blueish-purple to pinkish-purple flowers during the summer. Sage flowers have a small lip or opening. They are popular with bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The flowers, much like their famous leaves, are edible. The flowers are said to have a fruity taste. They represent good health and wisdom.

3. Lilies

Next in line are lilies.

Lilies are large, colorful, six-petaled flowers with long and noticeable anthers. They are often bell-shaped. Lilies come in white, yellow, pink, red, and orange. Lilies can be safe to eat when properly cooked, but they are extremely poisonous to cats and can cause feline kidney failure. A type of white lilies called Calla Lilies are used often in funerals. Lilies represent purity, innocence, and rebirth.

4. Roses

Finally, we have roses.

Roses are round multipetaled flowers that grow on spikey thorn bushes. They come in red, pink, yellow, white, blue, orange, and black. White roses can be dyed different colors when watered with a mix of water and food coloring. They prefer loam soil and full sun, but full sun can bleach them and cause the color to fade. Partial shade can reduce fading but will result in smaller buds. Rose petals are edible and are said to be sweet. Soaking the petals in water creates rose water which can improve skin and gut health. Different colored roses represent different things such as red roses meaning romantic love, yellow roses meaning friendship love, and blue roses meaning mysteriousness.

5. Rockroses

In their song The Rockrose and The Thistle, The Amazing Devil mention rockroses.

Rockroses, aka Cistus, are large, soft, and colorful flowering evergreen shrubs. They are tough and can withstand rain, strong winds, salt spray, and draught. They come in pink, rose, yellow, and white. Each blossom lasts for only one day and is naturally wrinkled. They prefer dry, sandy, and rocky climates in full sun. They have a warm and balsamic smell. They are non-toxic, edible, and can be used to treat stress and anxiety. Rockroses represent imminent death.

6. Thistles

Continuing from their song The Rockrose and the Thistle, thistles are spikey plants with purple puffs of flowers. They grow in average soil and prefer full sun. They are often considered a weed as they have an advanced root system that easily allows them to spread and grow. The spikes are irritants and can cause harm and rash. Some trimmed thistle leaves and peeled stems are edible. It is said that they taste like slightly sweetened celery. However, milk thistles can be considered toxic and may cause gastrointestinal distress. They are great for pollinators. They are tough and difficult to fully remove. Thistles represent overcoming adversity, protectiveness, good luck, and strength.

7. Buttercups

One of the lead singers, Joey Batey, plays a bard named Jaskier in Netflix's adaptation of The Witcher book series. Jaskier means buttercup in Polish.

Buttercup flowers are small yellow flowers with yellow puffed centers. They can have anywhere between 0 to 23 petals. They are often fine with full sun or partial sun but are pickier with their soil by preferring it to be light, cool, and well-drained. They have thick layers of yellow pigment, but they catch air under the layers which causes the flowers to become glossy and shiny. They are often considered weeds. Buttercups are extremely poisonous and can cause blistering of the mouth. They represent joy, youth, purity, happiness, and friendship.

8. Dandelions

Joey Batey's character Jaskier was renamed in The Witcher video games to Dandelion.

Dandelion flowers are yellow puffy flowers that can change and develop into balls of gray seeds. Dandelions are often considered weeds because their roots can break hard earth and can cause erosion. Dandelions can grow practically anywhere. The entire plant from roots to flower is edible and can be eaten cooked or raw. Undisturbed dandelions can live for up to 10 years. Dandelions represent rebirth, strength, power, good luck, success, and wishes.
