No, neither of those. But you can enter with an apple or an orange.

Hmm... I don't think any one of us will guess this in the foreseeable future, so I looked on Wikipedia!

I had to Wikipedia it in order to get the answer, so I guess we should move on.
I enter a new room with a textbook and a greenhouse.

I suppose so. I'll just point out what the rule for the previous room was: objects/words could enter the pink room if they appear in the title of a Pink Floyd song (Pink Floyd is one of the most commercially and critically successful bands of all time, but I should have realised most 10-13 year-olds probably wouldn't be familiar with them). "Bike", "See-Saw", "Dogs"/"Dogs of War", "Careful With That Axe, Eugene", etc. (At one point, I mentioned as a clue an insect room, with the objects that could enter that room being references to an even more renowned, insect-themed band, which I hoped people might recognise easier and then connect to the "pink" clue, but that didn't work either.)

Anyway, re: the new room: can I enter with a doorknob?

I'm guessing "new" has nothing to do with the pattern, else I have to wait.

My original guess was items with double letters, but...

No.
Perhaps it needs to be more specific than that.
Can I enter with a:
  • door?
  • floor?
  • wall?
  • ceiling? (in case the double letter thing is completely wrong)
