How are rainbow roses made and what do they mean?

The rainbow rose is not an artificial plant or decorative props, although it looks similar. Nevertheless, such a flower looks truly fabulous and can be an amazing gift for any occasion. It is especially pleasant for young girls to receive a bouquet of such unusual roses.

Of course, there are no rainbow roses in nature. However, such a rose is not the result of meticulous breeding work and is not a product of genetic engineering. Nevertheless, rainbow roses exist, and the history of their appearance is connected with experiments with dyes, which were once carried out by a Dutch florist named Peter van der Werken. It was he who first tried to inject a little water containing multi-colored pigments into the stem of a growing plant. With a little practice, he managed to produce such amazing flowers.

The only drawback of this technique for breeding such beautiful flowers is that their lifespan is much shorter than that of conventional rose varieties. It's all the fault of the chemicals used to color the flowers. In general, roses with rainbow petals live from 3 to 5 days.

A bouquet of rainbow roses as a gift can serve as a real antidepressant. It can be presented at any appropriate celebration, where such flowers will definitely attract maximum attention to themselves, causing surprise and delight among others.

With the help of such a bouquet, you can easily cheer up, therefore, such a variety of colors in rainbow roses can be considered a symbol of joy, carelessness and fun. With such roses with colored petals, you can wish a truly iridescent mood and a lighter attitude to everything that happens on the path of life.

Such roses can be presented to a person who has a depressed mood for a long time. A bouquet is not a guarantee of improving the condition of a loved one, however, it will be quite possible to cause surprise and curiosity in him.

And also with these rainbow-colored buds, you can easily stand out at a large formal event like a wedding or anniversary. Those to whom they are presented will surely remember the donor and appreciate his original solution. This will obviously be better than the banal white lilies.

Such flowers will also be a good option for a bouquet of a bride who wants something unusual and creative for herself on a special day, while everyone uses traditional and more restrained bouquets.

Rainbow buds can also be given to a new mother as she leaves the maternity hospital. Thus, you can clearly surprise her and improve her mood. In addition, you can give such a bouquet to your own mother on Mother's Day. With its help, you can decorate a cloudy November day, when there is just not enough paint.

With the same bouquet you can unusually congratulate your child on graduation. It is so impressive and unusual to show how proud you are of the achievements of your daughter or son.

The whole technology of dyeing a rose in a rainbow color is enclosed in the laws of natural scientific disciplines. The most important of these is the movement of nutrients from the stem to the petals.

You don't have to grow a special rose, the process itself consists in lowering the cut stem into a glass of water with the addition of food coloring. The water along with the coloring matter will move through the capillaries of the plant straight to its petals. This is how a wonderful reincarnation of an ordinary white rose will take place.

You will need to get the following necessary items:

• 4 narrow glasses with a heavy bottom;

• food coloring matter of different shades;

• sharpened stationery knife;

• cocktail tubes made of plastic.

For coloring roses, you can choose a variety of shades, but the most beneficial of them will be red, yellow, green and blue. Mixing red with purple or blue with yellow is a good option. Greens, yellows, and purples will work well together too.

In order to bring out the rainbow, you will need to stir each color in a separate glass.

Then we proceed stepwise as follows.

• The end of the cut flower is trimmed a little more at an angle, and the flower itself is kept under a small stream of warm water.
• The end of the stem is divided into four parts using a sharp knife. The length of the split parts must not exceed 15 cm.
• To protect the fragile flower stalks, cocktail tubes are pulled over them, which are adjusted in advance to the length of the shoots.
• Glasses with diluted pigments are placed side by side and one divided part of the shoot in a tube is lowered into each of them.
• The flower must be set steadily so that it stands straight with its stem in containers of paint.
• The rose is left to stand in a cool place. It is important to remember that direct sunlight should not fall on the coloring flower.

Already a day later, the first staining results can be observed. It will be necessary to wait about 3 days until the procedure is complete.

As you can see it is not so difficult to grow such an amazing flower. You don't have to be a specialist for this. With a little practice, you can get such unusual bouquets right in your home. For greater success of the operation, you can familiarize yourself with a number of simple recommendations.

In the absence of roses with snow-white petals, you can take the usual pink or yellow buds of pale tones. The initial color of the buds will directly affect the saturation of the result obtained when staining. After a couple of experiments, it will turn out to bring out an unusual bouquet.

To speed up the process, you can add a little sugar to a container of water. When immersing the split ends of the stem in water, you must be extremely careful, as they are very fragile and can break. It is not recommended to split the stem into too many ends, otherwise the experiment will not be possible at all. It is possible to immerse the cut parts in a container of water only when the coloring pigment is properly dissolved.

You should not mix several different shades in one glass, as the result will be a dirty color that will simply ruin the flower. It can be dyed in different colors only if there are several containers for pigments.

The brightness of the petals depends on the amount of pigment in the container. To get a light pastel color, you need to add very little dye.

In order for the whole process to be crowned with success, it is necessary to create optimal temperature conditions.In the room where the flower will stand, there should be no sudden temperature fluctuations. Compliance with these simple rules will be enough to create a rainbow rose.
