Actually I object to the formulation of the question, which is misleading. 
I expect puzzles of this kind to be scrupulously exact, even if they are 
fiendishly sly. This one should have asked:


SPOILER


























How many petals around the rose/s?

Yes, I know, I'm literal-minded, a lamentable failing in a fiction writer.
