Tie-Dye Rose AKA Rainbow Rose

Tye Dye Rose - I took this photo with my cell phone. It doesn't show the vibrant red and yellow that the rose had. But it is still beautiful and amazing to me.

My sister surprised me with a beautiful brightly colored Tie-Dye Rose. The vibrant colors were Red, Yellow, Green, & Blue. When I first got it I wondered how do they do it? The rose wasn't completely open and yet a green petal was closed around a blue petal. So that ruled out being dyed after the rose was grown. I did some reading and discovered the roses are injected in the stem using a hypodermic needle during the growing period.

I twisted my ankle the other night and am lucky to walk in my slippers, no shoes for me!

You are wise to realize that. Enjoy your slippers. Being comfy and painfree is far better than looking stylish.

Hi ya greenglitterturtle Wow that sounds absolutely beautiful I would love to see a photo of it if you have one. I love tie dyed stuff but it is not easily available to buy and sometimes do it myself but don't find it easy!!

Hi Humbug25...It truly was beautiful. The photo I took with my cellphone is above. The colors aren't accurate cause of my cell but just the same it gives you an idea. Even when the rose dried up I left it out about a week more. I still thot it looked beautiful. If you tried to inject a rose with a needle that would be quite challenging I think. hehe. Have a good day and take time to smell the Roses.
