Red rose appears red in white light and black in green light. Why?

Red rose appears red in white light because it reflects red colour and absorbs all the other colours of white light, but appears black in green colour because the only colour given to the flower is absorbed and nothing is reflected.

What is Regelation?

The melting point of ice is 0°C at normal pressure but when you increase the pressure on ice it melts at the temperature below 0°C( i.e. melting point of ice decreases with pressure). When the pressure applied is released then water formed from ice starts freezing. This phenomenon is called REGELATION.
