NO.

Vitamin C is Citric Acid, named because it is found in Citrus fruits, such as Oranges, Pineapple, and Grapefruit.

Juices will often contain Vitamin C as an additive.

EDIT: I guess I was wrong. But that's no call for that kind of insult, Krister. It's just been a while since my last nutrition course.
I'm sure you've been mistaken before.

carrot, apples, and celery all have vitamin C

Yes, though not as much as in, say, an orange.
Cooking decreases the amount of vitamin C so it would be even less if they were cooked carrots, celery or apples.

Carrots are more well known for their vitamin A content.

Apples although not technically a fruit:

4.6 mg per 100 grams

Celery:

3 mg per 100 grams

Carrots:

7 mg per 100 grams
