Petals Around The Rose

I sat at the table for nearly 2 hours staring at the 5 dice my friend kept throwing to the table, making wild guesses at what the answer might be, only to have her continuously tell me that I was wrong. FINALLY, I worked it out, and now I thought that I'd share it with you guys.

I can tell you three things:

1 - The name of the game is "Petals Around the Rose". This is significant.
2 - The answer is always 0, or an even number.
3 - The answer to any given roll.

I will reveal the answer to each roll after three people have guessed.
Please do not reveal any of your theories or reasoning behind your guesses, as this spoils the game for others.
Please don't look the answer up, as this just spoils the game for you.
Get six in a row right and I'll consider that proof enough that you understand the game.

Here is the first roll.

Bringing sexy back? Apparently?
I'm going to say 8 as well...I think something clicked when I looked at the dice.
For the time being I am retired from Alternia. Due to the nature of my work, I've become very busy and time here is hard to find. I shall return eventually however.
