Rainbow Rose
These neon rainbow roses are real roses whether you
believe it or not, and are dyed to attain their multi-colored appearance. They are the latest brainwave of
Dutch flower grower Peter Van de Werken, The rose petals on these roses have
taken on this rainbow aspect by a process known in the flower trade as stem
dying, not a new technique by any means, a technique that has been around since
the Victorian era. An established florist's trick to get such flowers as
chrysanthemums and carnations and then a little later roses to absorb colors via
placing their stems in varying colored dyes hence blue roses .You can try this
at home with food coloring. What differs here is the number of different colors
of dye absorbed by each rose blossom and that a professional floral dye is used .Usually using a white rose since they accept color the best, the roses stem is cut into several portions each and is placed into a
different colored ink or dye. Each stem section then delivers that color to the
rose petals to which it is directly attached, just like you would suck a drink
through a straw, and voila! Now you have a rainbow rose.
