+NOTE: THE CODE IN THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN SOLVED. THE CHANGES IN THE ROSES FROM WHITE TO BLUE, ENCODED AS BINARY NUMBERS, THEN TO LETTERS, AND THEN THROUGH A VIGENERE CIPHER WITH THE 'JAM' QUOTE "Now I taught the weepin willow how to cry" PRODUCES:

 What we think we know about this video:
-The code embedded in the video is a Baudot Code. Baudot Code is a 5 bit character encoding used for telegraphs. We know it's Baudot for several reasons. First, Ricky says "Our new code is as basic as can be, it's ELECTRICITY. 00000...is...a null state". The Baudot code sent characters over a telegraph line by manipulating electricity. Secondly, in Baudot Code five zeros is a null character. Third, Ricky says "It's a more archaic version than something like ASCII.  I mean how many bits do you really need to express 26 letters?" Baudot code precedes ASCII and uses 5 bits to represent 26 letters, which is the fewest number of bits to represent 26 characters (2^5=32).
+The code embedded in the video is similar to a Baudot Code. Baudot Code is a 5 bit character encoding used for telegraphs. There are several similarities to Baudot code.First, Ricky says "Our new code is as basic as can be, it's ELECTRICITY. 00000...is...a null state".

+Clues which could contribute to solving the code include "The difference between a red rose and a white rose is as plain as the difference between red and white.  And the difference between black and white.  Or black and blue. . . But blue roses don't appear in nature, do they." and "Can you find the other coordinate hinted in the video", which implies that a coordinate is encoded in the video, perhaps in addition to whatever is represented by the Baudot Code.
+Below is a list of all of Ricky's answers on his Youtube page.
 Ricky has said "This year's code is far easier than last years, son."

 "Wendy is very astute, she knows much about all of this, even if she doesn't quite understand.  It wasn't around Christmas, it was on Christmas, she created the images as she posted them that day.  These sorts of rituals are tied to specific dates and phases, as much as they are tied to specific locations and the leylines we see in our dreams."
