The way I understand it, different dyes are inserted into the stem and transpiration does the rest.
Rainbow roses are a little too artificial for my taste. And slightly sinister looking, in my opinion. What's that quote from Meggie in the Thorn Birds?
"Oh, go away! I can't bare to look at you anymore! And there's one thing you've forgotten about your precious roses, Ralph, they've got nasty *hooky* thorns!"

Ah I've seen that done to make blue carnations, but I though this one was Photoshop generated

No photo trickery here Loripo. It is as you see it. It was the centre flower in a funeral wreath. Always wondered how they did it.
Cheers,

I'vebeen looking up rainbow roses and they use one type of cream rose that absorbs vegetable dyes and theyve found out how to direct one colour to each petal. Roses can be so lovely this seams a bit OTT. I still like the photo tho - Perhaps I'll try a digital one
