A few years ago on an anniversary, I gave My Rare One a rainbow rose! Have you ever seen one of these?
For the life of me, I could not figure out how each petal got to be a different colour. Then not too long ago, I saw this diagram and now all is clear. Starting with a white rose, the stem is sectioned, each end placed in a different dye and a different colour is thereby transferred to individual petals.
Rainbow roses may not occur in nature but they're still cool, eh?

Totally cool and beautiful Debra.
Never seen these before. Going pin one on my Pinterest account.

They are beautiful, and the creative mind which figured out how to do it deserves kudos.
I've never seen one of those, they're really cool. I'm guessing a bouquet of those wouldn't be cheap.
that is amazing, what a beautiful gift,
FABULOUS!
It's fabulous what they can do with plants! I also love it when they put square bottles around apples or pears on the trees so that they would grow into that shape :)
That is amazing!
🌹🌹🌹🌹😍 Now that would make a brilliant bouquet ! xDebi
how totally cool!
I have never seen a Rainbow Rose. Very Cool indeed! The mystery is now solved.
That's crazy that anyone realized that could even be done.
First time I'm seeing this. It's beautiful.
That is so beautiful. I wish I could have roses like that growing in my garden.
this is a beautiful flower for sure
I have never seen one, but they are breathlessly beautiful.

I'm amazed that that's an actual rose. It's more than cool. It's a beauty.
I first did that in my Earth Science class in college one summer. We made red white and blue roses for the 4th of July. It's such a cool thing to play around with.
How awesome would those look in a garden?
that is beautiful...you sweet
That's kinda neat. I love the mint green roses - in case you need to know! Ha!
Pretty cool! I'd heard though that black roses are real, but only in this one specific place. Can't remember where, but it has something to do with the chemical makeup of the soil.
That is so cool! Now I want to try to do this at home.
Yes dear Lady Debra.... about the same way that they make "Peppermint carnations" ....we learned this in 4th grade using food coloring and a piece of celery..... turned its leaves (and "veins") Blue...
in some Countries this method is used to produce "Fake" "Blue Roses"..... a fabled flower from ancient Arabia....
These are gorgeous! I have never seen one before.
that is very pretty
Friggin amazing, Debra!!
I like these!
I saw a similar flower colored by a kid for a science fair project. It was very pretty. I think the mom actually did the project, but who cares? Now her kid probably can't go to the potty by herself and the "kid" is in her late twenties.
Love,
Janie
They do look cool, yes.
I have never seen that before. Interesting. How long does it take to change color?
Bill, I'm not sure. I've never made one personally. I bought mine at a florist's shop. But surely it can't take too long, otherwise the rose would be wilted and crappy before reaching market.
I've never seen one, and I think it's the most fantastic thing ever!
Amazing what science can do.
The other week I pulled up at our tiny rural food store and saw a dad come out with two little kids, each carrying a rainbow rose. I doubt that either one of them knew why the store was selling them, but it made me happy to see the roses had made it all the way out here in the countryside :)
That looks incredible.
So cool and so beautiful!
