Very often, trying to surprise a loved one and picking flowers, I want to give an unusual bouquet. Today the flower market allows everyone to choose the plants they like. Recently, rainbow roses have been very popular. Yes! They do exist in nature.

Brought out such an unusual variety by the Dutch owner of a flower company. The most amazing thing is that the growing technique is absolutely simple: the stems of the plant are cut along, and each of the parts is immersed in a separate container with water, which is tinted with a certain shade of paint. The flower, drinking the liquid, provokes the deposition of the dye on the foliage. The petals gradually change colors.

About rainbow roses

The rainbow rose was bred in 2004 after 6 months of painstaking work. As a result of continuous work, an unusual flower appeared, the petals of which were painted in a variety of colors of blue, red, orange, yellow, green and blue shades. The bred plant was named Rainbow rose.

Multi-colored roses, which were bred as a result of difficult work, are grown in an unusual way: water is passed into the stems of a growing plant, which dyes the petals in different shades.

This plant growing technique can help color tulips, chrysanthemums, hydrangeas, and orchids.

Important! The long growing process affects the cost of the flower. Initially, the price of one rainbow plant was almost 900 rubles, today the prices for bouquets of rainbow roses are much lower and are available to the bulk of the population.

To obtain multi-colored petals, it is unacceptable to immerse the stems in the same container with the dye. In a similar situation, the buds are colored in a shade that is obtained by mixing the entire palette. To obtain the desired rainbow shade, it is important to strictly follow the step-by-step staining process:

  1. In a specialized flower shop, you should purchase white roses, the length of the stems of which is between 22-25 cm.
  2. Then you can go to the choice of 4 contrasting colors. It is unacceptable to use combinations of red and orange or indigo with blue for coloring. Experts advise to combine red, blue, yellow and green tones. Yellow, purple, green and blue scales will also help to achieve a rainbow color of the petals. Don't be afraid to experiment! Boldly mixing a palette can produce great results.
  3. The selected dyes are mixed in a deep container with water.
  4. Only then can you start splitting the stems of the roses. A scalpel or utility knife can be used for this procedure. The stem is divided into equal segments.
  5. The cut stems are placed in a container.
  6. Parts of the stems must be dipped in different glasses. The design of flowers is fixed to prevent them from falling out of the container.
  7. After 24 hours, which the Rainbow rose spends in the dye, its petals begin to acquire a rainbow hue.

Secrets and recommendations from experienced florists

Experienced florists advise:

  • It is worth remembering that a rose cannot have blue petals from nature, since plants do not have a similar gene responsible for this shade. Online stores are actively offering rainbow rose seeds. However, after planting, flower growers become owners of homemade white roses. It is impossible to grow such plants outdoors. Given the high cost of bouquets of rainbow plants, you can still try self-staining using suitable dyes. It is appropriate to present bright color bouquets for a wedding celebration, anniversary or birthday of a young lady.
  • For coloring, not only varieties of roses with snow-white buds, but also with pink, red petals can be used.
  • The colorants must be of good quality so that they can be quickly dissolved in the liquid.
  • Splitting the stems is done slowly so as not to break them.
  • A rose that is in the dyeing stage should be transferred to a cool room.

Natural colors, a little imagination and the time spent will help to create unique flowers that will cheer you up and create coziness in the house.
