Rainbow roses

Does anyone know how to make these ???

I buy them from my supplier. I have heard of a couple of different ways that
the grower dyes these. One way is to cut white or ivory roses. Then they inject the bottom of the stem with a needle filled with dye, in four different spots. the rose then
drinks the dye and the colors show up in the different petals. whenever I have these
in stock, I sell out of these immediately. I renamed them, but I won't share the
groovy name
I have them last 16 days and I have them last 3 days. You never know.

The bottom of the rose is split in 4 sections. Then while the rose has not yet hydrated is when the 4 sections are put into 4 different colors of dye. Then the dye solution is re-hydrating the flower and thus coloring the petals.

There are two pretty extensive threads on this subject.
