Ah, good gentles, I admit I cannot pass this one up (she says from a dark
corner).  As an as-yet unnamed visitor to this establishment, I humbly
offer the following for your consideration: 
 
roseola - a rose-colored eruption in spots; specifically, German measles 
 
Rosaceae - the name for all plants within the rose family 
 
Mayhap there was a minor difference in the spelling?  (appalled by her
audacity, she quietly reseats herself upon the bench and dearly hopes no
one takes notice...)
